Feeling estranged from reality...like a shadow on the wall...like a ghost...

Seriously. I do this all the time. But today in particular, I had that sort of...dreamy, lost quality about me. to and from class I was lost in my own head...like...really in my head. I didn't even feel like I was in my own body. It was strange. This happens a lot. Like i said. But...today I felt alone. I'm not sure what kind of "alone" that is. Perhaps a melancholic one. Even so far as to say bittersweet. I think it's a sign of a surge of creativity coming along. I've been hearing voices in my head. Ones that belong to possible characters for a short story that might be budding from word seeds. Slowly...creeping along the trelaces of my mind. No. Not trellaces. More of a long forgotten, uncultivated, dark and stale garden. The kind you would find amongst the ruins of a castle. Just silence. Left alone in the silence with the words whispering and shifting in my head.
It's an eerily calm moment. But it takes me away from where I am or wherever I'm heading to. 
Lonely.
I was quite lonely today.
Surrounded by milling bodies and yet I...was alone. Alone in my head. Far away from the life around me.
Today...today I am a ghost. A shadow on the wall...
