Detatched

A Poem by Toney Vega
"

A pseudo-dream I had one time that I wrote for a competition me and my friend were having.

"

I'm drifting,
Floating nonstop over farms and mansions and the regal domains of aquatic life.
The wind envelopes me as it blows gently past,
Wrapping me in its comfort like a blanket.
I look down on this world that I've become so distant from and tears begin to fall from my face back down to Earth.
I wish I could help, but I am powerless to do so,
Unable to ease anyone's pain or bring anyone up here to float with me.
Maybe if I wasn't so alone up here I would find it easier to turn a blind eye to the sufferings of mankind,
But because of my new-found solitude I curse this gift.
Why was I chosen to be the one to soar above the trials of humanity while those I love must continue to suffer?
Why was I the one who is able to escape the world...alone?
