I look out ahead of me.
Beyond me is a road.
There are slight dips and turns.
But mostly just a vast sea of cars and traffic lights.
I used to have a destination.
I used to have a point of origin.
But recently I have felt adrift,
Floating among the sea of cars; destination unknown.
I drown out my thoughts with music.
I escape to a place that can not move from me.
But the stress snaps me back.
There is no escaping this, there is no cure.
So many roads lay before me.
So many choices to consider.
There is almost too much to bear.
Fatigue over takes me.
It has been a long time since I felt peace.
Since I knew true happiness.
But now I just feel alone among the millions.
I feel lost among the crowds.
