Analysis of Drifting Slowly
Questions, silly answers,
To the pain that's been haunting me.
Yet failing is believing,
That the pain inside is killing see?
The answer to my question,
Lies with the vision, but can it be?
Can you hear me now?
am I drifting from reality?
I can feel this now.
What's become my fantasy?
Do you fear me now?
Or is it just my misery?
I am here…… just drifting slowly
The light I see before me,
So bright, yet still forming.
The vision in your eyes is clear,
Like a shadow in its dawning.
Just hope you understand,
That fear is only flaunting.
