Misplaced Feelings Poem
Where did the feeling go?
I swear I just had it.
Set in down the moment I was not using it.
Left to wait on some dusty shelf.
But now that I truly need it, it is stuck in a jail I do not know the location of.
Waiting patiently like a puppy at the pound for me to return.
***
Maybe I actually used it all up.
A limited supply I never knew the value of.
Wasted on trivial tasks before the true task.
A drug I did not know I needed until I saw the bottom of the pill bottle.
Left to crash all on my own.
A complete free fall.
***
I want to feel it.
That energy that drives me on.
Motivation and reward all in one.
Gone from my mind like a transient thought.
Left somewhere between now and yesterday.
Missing from the space between my ears.
***
Please tell me where I left that misplaced feeling.
Give me a refill of what I need.
For my mind is full of the empty and empty of the full.
Plug the dam and fill the road.
For I will go absolutely nowhere at this rate.
It never matters how much I honk my horn since the white noise is still there.
