Drifting Into Obscurity

by S.M. Scott - Capricorn

So this is floating along
Every step is a grasp,
Sanity's lost to the deranged
Managing only a gasp.
Just like the next
Having no hold on life,
Lost in the shuffle
Surrendering to the strife.
Not knowing where to go
Following one another,
An eternally fixed circle
Falling down upon the other.
Striving for some difference
In a monotonous place,
Another swig of beer
Distortion of his own face.
Life is strewn over the floor
Piece by piece,
A jumble of words
His inspiration on cease.
Frustration simply overcoming
Losing desire to free,
Slowly, ever so slowly
Drifting into obscurity.

Reason for writing:

    I just thought about how difficult it was to let my thoughts be transferred onto paper, when other emotions are in the way.
