I'm here, but I'm not here
(8/19/15)
As I drift away into my own thoughts
Voices get farther away
Once more trapped within my own mind
Unaware of my surroundings
The world around goes on without me
As conversations continue unhindered by my absence
In my head is nothing but silence
Then my thoughts begin to penetrate the fog
In my mind I am alone
Don't try to talk to me 'cause I won't hear you
I'm somewhere else now even if you still see me
Lost within myself
Consumed by my own thoughts
So far away
Only half aware when you say my name
I'm daydreaming yet it's unclear
As I sit here thinking
I'm here, but I'm not here
