Casting shadows

By gretchen

I'm sitting alone
casting shadows on the wall
every time I try to rise
I fall 

looking at the sky
the stars seem closer than you 
I'm drifting so far
away from everthing I knew

Inside my mind i'm running
I start to unravel
you will never find me 
in the dark spaces that I travel 

touch me
I am freezing
my body is here
but my soul is leaving

there is no connection
my world seems so small
alone in the dark
casting shadows on the wall
