The Horizon Is So Far Away

It's difficult sometimes to find a poetic way of saying that you're sad and lonely. Really, often your eyes say it all and words don't even do justice to the churning tides of emotion that drown your soul from within. As you realize how far removed you are from your better days, you cannot comprehend the thought that "this too shall pass."

I want it to pass now.

On the horizon, I know that something waits for me. Some joy to wash away my sorrows. But from where I stand, the horizon is so far away. It's so vague - just an outline of shapes in the distance. It surrounds me, but never appears to come any closer with each step I take.

My life has been sidetracked, and that's no one's concern but my own. I have to find something that makes everything worth fighting for again. I'm no longer sufficiently motivated to achieve relatively menial career success; I want to be happy, not rich or famous. I want to be happy, goddammit.
