           Adrift


  Rubbing these sore old scars
You can't see the ones on the inside
And I can't make them feel better.
Im lost.
I've fallen into a river
And I don't know how to swim.
Searching so desperately
And I don't know what Im looking for.
Im alone.
These raging feelings
You can't see on the outside
And I don't know how to make them show through.
I want to find out who I am
But I don't know where to look.
Im lost.
These feelings pushing so hard
And I don't understand them.
I don't know why Im crying
But I can feel cold tears.
Im lost.

Great poem.
I particularly like the randomness of the flow.

Solipsism saves us from the atavism of the Equalitarian.

rubbing old sore scars? I LOVE THIS LINE! i think if you had used it more throughout the poem it may be more effective as far as your point, but I still think its really good. I LIKE IT! i like the description of tears as cold... It really makes a good image. Keep writing and I will keep reading!

Hmm... this is an interesting peice.  Yes, it is random, but it fits very well with the point you are trying to make.  It came across very well!  And, though I'm late in saying this, don't worry about this, we all feel this way, even myself, although me being who I am, that isn't saying much.
