Drifting Into Obscurity

So this is floating along
Every step a grasp,
Sanity's lost to the deranged
Managing only a gasp.

Just like the next
Having no hold on life,
Lost in the shuffle
Surrendering to the strife.

Not knowing where to go
Following one another
An eternally fixed circle
Falling down upon the other.

Striving for some difference
In a monotonous place,
Another swig of beer
Distortion of his own face.

Life is strewn over the floor
Piece by piece,
A jumble of words
Inspiration on cease.

Frustration simply overcoming
Losing desire to free,
Slowly, ever more so slowly
Drifting into obscurity.
