Detached

Thoughts float

Through the air.

I sense the hurt

In people I love.

They watch from afar

As I drift away.

I need an anchor

Or I'll be as far away as a star.

I walk through life

Detached

From the way the world is

And the things people say.

I don't want to be

Nearby when the damage

Accumulates and finally

The world falls apart.

Very devastating poem. Tragedy is everywhere and the short line amongst long lines symbolizes the abnormalities and expected in catastrophes. A very excellent poem.
