Am I really here
Or am I not?
Totally zoned out
Is how I feel
How else can I
Describe this vacuum
This emptiness within my mind
It’s heavier than a ton of bricks
I am stuck in reverse under the load
No on moving traffic
Ideas and thoughts
Have been hijacked
By yesterday’s disappointments
And tomorrow’s anxieties
The present time is ticking by
Much as I try, my mind is blocked
Can’t think up visions
Of a better tomorrow
Can’t stop remembering yesterday
It’s ups and downs, It’s joys and pain
Seared on my mind
Therefore today is now disabled
It never stood a chance against
The onslaught of my jumbled thoughts
Zoned out, dismissed. Out of my own mind
Today could find no true expression
As moments slide by, one by one
Unused misused
By the surrounding chaos
Which won’t die out
Loosing today
Absent in the present
Lost in yesterday
Zoned out. Unplugged
Disconnected. Closed In
Clueless deception
Betrayal of Me
Oblivious unaware – ness
Today’s pain relief
It causes no pain
If I remain zoned out
I care not for today
Yesterday’s still too raw
Stuck in slow motion
Between two worlds
Today’s world that never was
And tomorrow”s world already lost
My life, my thoughts, Stuck in reverse
Significance Speaks
