Sadness & Clouds (Assignment from on-line Poetry Class)

Insubstantial is the feeling.
Something in my eyes that drip.
Floating, helpless, drifting.
Why can't I chart my way?

Mist is my essence
Parts always falling.
I yearn to be more complete.
Why is there no solid ground?

I know my time is brief.
Why do I feel so alone?
