Float

Here am I,

Drifting away,

Walking idle,

Back by yesterday.

 

Here I go,

Wayward bound,

Stepping out,

There I am found.

 

Between the lines,

Between the lies,

Every wandering,

Faceless cries.

 

Cast out,

Set aside,

Left to wash

Among the tides.

 

Balancing act,

Upon the wire,

To step between

All the liars.

 

A lowly shell,

Here I bloat,

Why did you leave

Me here to float.
