my own world

i'm sitting in a room
staring at nothing.
people can see me
they're saying things
it just doesn't reach me

i'm here but somehow
i am not
i see everything
but i don't realize
i am here

i'm far away
in my own world
living another live
having other people 'round me
where other things happen

a world no one knows
but me
where i can be myself
and just don't care
bout what people say

and when people ask me:
where are you thinking of
i come back to this world.
and say that i was just staring
thinking of nothing.
they wouldn't understand

Nice! Something that a lot of us can relate to. Especially us dreamy, absent-minded, mind-wandering ones, who tend to escape this world every now and again, by wandering of into a world far beyond anyone else's understanding. A world which only you know and fully understand. A part of you that you will never be able to fully share with others, because they will never be able to fully understand what goes on in that other world of yours, even if you try to explain it to the best of your ability. It's YOUR world! And it's complex!

You nailed it when you mentioned "living another life". That's exactly what we do. The lives we live that are visible to others are not nearly a true reflection of the life we live on the inside.

Nice write! I really enjoyed it...

I can relate to you on that one. I have lived in my own world all my life and still do. Its hard to tell some one all the things that go through your mind, those moments that you still away to that other place. And if you ever did what would that say lol who knows for none of us tell...now do we

this is a very good piece. It shows that you wish to have peace and tranquility in some form or another and others opinions arent voiced in your mind. Very good work. Keep it up :D
