Life without living

Currently not feeling as though my life is being lived. I am drifting through life, without anything to achieve, to look forward to and to believe in.

A time lapse of my life would show me not living

I would be sat on my bed

I would be sat in front of the television

I would be making breakfast, lunch, dinner

I would be eating

I would be leaving the house every Tuesday and Thursday morning

I would be looking for jobs

I would be bonding with my cats

 

A time lapse of my life would show me not living

I am feeling lost

I am feeling sad

I am feeling annoyed

I am feeling useless

I am feeling nothing at all

 

A time lapse of my life would show me not living

I don’t know how to start living

How do I create a life that makes me want to get up every morning?

I am stuck

Stuck in a void that drains me

I feel lost in myself, who am I meant to be?

Who will I be when this time lapse is complete?

BEAUTIFUL! The intricacy of the thoughts that this poem is trying to convey is so beautifully knitted that I am struck. Loved it!
