Adrift

Oh, we are lost

We are adrift

We are wayward

Missing

Searching

Longing


Adrift

Rudderless

Motionless

In pain

And searching

Wanting

Desiring

Hoping and praying



Forgetting to return home

Because we’ve lost the way

We veered away from the breadcrumb path

We wandered

Aimlessly

Striving and straining

Pushing and plundering

for...

Somewhere else

Something else

To be...

Someone else


So we forgot how to get back

To return to home base

Our true ease

Our true essence

Our true nature

So we remain adrift

Wandering

Afraid to ask for help

Afraid to reach out for one another

Afraid to be seen as weak or needy or wanting

Because we must have it all figured out

Or at least we must portray that to the outside world

That we know it all

That we have it all



All figured out

We’re cool as cucumbers

It’s all good

I’m just busy, that’s all

It’s just a crazy time


But soon

One day, it’ll be normal again

Because I’ve got it all figured out

I’m in control

I’ve got the power

I can’t be shaken or rocked or cracked

I’m impenetrable

I’m steady

I’m a rock




But really

I’m just scared

I’m just treading water

I’m adrift

And alone

And afraid





So we medicate

And mediate

And fight and war

We rage and rant

We argue fuss and fight

We torment and abuse

All so we don’t have to stop

To look within ourselves

To ask for answers

It’s all out there, right?


What can heal me?

It’s a pill

A portion

A drug

A pot of money

A lucky star

I’m deserving, right?

I’ve earned all this, right?

The bigger

The better

The most expensive

The most expansive

To fill this void

To fill this fear

So that I can forget I’m lost

I can forget I’m adrift

I can remain afloat

I can remain on my yacht

And stay buoyant

Stay bobbing

Stay upright

Stay in control

Just keep paddling

Just keep swimming

Don’t stop

Don’t drown

Don’t let go

Don’t surrender

Don’t get carried away

Don’t get pulled under


Stay afloat

Stay adrift
