Far Removed

At times I feel so far removed

Apart from every living thing

Stuck in a joyless soulless cage

Of love birds that no longer sing

At times I feel so out of touch

Alone and empty deep inside

Bound to a soaked and heavy load

Of murkiness against the tide

At times I feel so in the loop

Allied by all things true and good

Redeemed by self-discovery

Of tribulations understood
