My feet are invisible,
and I don't recognize the signs.
My legs are moving,
but I am not controlling them.
Their feet are there to trip me,
and I have no hands to catch myself.

I don't know where I am going...

My mind is racing,
but I find it hard to rationalize.
My chest is tight,
and I am fighting for breath.
The faces are all familiar,
but no one sees me dying.

I don't know where I want to be...

Tears well up in my eyes,
but they are trapped behind my stare.
Anger builds in my chest,
and I am unable to scream.
My past haunts me,
and they continue to taunt me.

I am so lonely.

Excellent description of 'lonely' and deserted, brianm.

(I hope this is just a good writing of prose, and not your circumstances.)

however, we have ALL been there, at one time and in one way, or another. Welcome to A2K

I agree, a really good description of loneliness and distancing yourself from people and 'the real world' - or at least they're the emotions I got the image of when reading this.
