Floating Downstream Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Drifting downstream, nowhere to go, just floating without
any thoughts.

Feeling sad and lonely within, not able to grasp hold of
anything, not even hope.

Life is leaving, not taking me with it, on a separate
journey.

Dejected and forlorn, unhappiness sitting within, nowhere
else to go.

Just holding onto this lonely heart, crying tears of hope-
lessness and drifting downstream into a far away place.

Not caring where it is, just as long as I don't have to
be here now.
