do you ever feel like nothing is real, and you can't quite touch the ground? You do what you do, and you are how you are, but your feet just don't make a sound. I can see myself walk and hear myself talk, but my senses are so far away. How to deal with life and overcome strife? I can only focus on today. I'm a ghost in a car, traveling near and far. I don't always know how to be. The best I can do is tie up my damn shoe and go walking. Then I am me. I appear in this world, my gray sails unfurled as I slide across the grass. It feels like a test. I'll do my very best to not care if I fail or pass. Am I seen where I sit, and just why don't I fit? There's something else I really don't know. Even though I am kind, I wrestle a troubled mind. Am I real or just a shadow?
