I’m sure this has happened to you. If not; you lead some kind of charmed life my friend!

Lost
Cast adrift
Drowning in confusion
In a sea of
Indecipherable signals
Bobbing buoy like
Amid the breaking waves

Words saying one thing
Body language another
Signals
Never clear enough
To act on any
All, or one
Never sure whether to
Drop anchor
Or sail on to
Less choppy waters

Why can’t just one
Be a beacon
The brightest beam
Guiding me to safety
This whirlpool of emotion
The vortex
Pulling me under
Gasping for breath
For life
For love

    just know that if you ever feel like that you have friends that you can reach out to for comfort and a shoulder to cry on.. :)
    hugs your way… and get your arse out of the vortex…
    don’t make me go in there and pull your arse out… cuz i will :D

    Your best piece so far, or is it just me who thinks so? I really loved this one.
