Incongruent.

Or:

  • Feeling both too old and too young at the same time.
  • The language spoken is the same but it sounds different.
  • Hating what you wanted.
  • Knowing nothing.
  • Knowing one thing: the desire to fix or to be fixed.
  • Drifting in space.
  • Days falling apart.
  • Mind numb.
  • Confusion as the status quo.
  • Focus is a rare commodity.
  • Walls surrounding everything.
  • Loneliness as a persistent feeling.
  • Being an alien.
  • Everyone else being an alien.
  • Losing touch with reality.
  • Gasping out silently.
  • Screaming out when no one can hear.
  • Hearing only the worst.
  • Pressing on with no rhyme or reason.
  • Swimming in a sea of wet sand.
  • Stuck and desperately wanting to break free.

Or, maybe, simply:

  • In the wrong place.
