I drift through my days,
seeing people,
seeing places,
seeing things I'll likely forget.I'm in a perpetual daze,
as if I wasn't really in my own body.
I would float off,
and I would be numb.I see my friends,
see all these familiar faces.
I jot down notes and math problems,
that I don't even understand.And I think,
maybe someday,
I'll be free of the haze.And maybe I'll break the surface,
exist, for once.
I'll be here, and living,
for a short time.
