Right Where You Need To Be

If you’re to go left,

then you better go right.

For the world is quite round,

and either way, you see,

you will always end up right

where you need to be.

If you’re to get lost,

it ain’t hard to get unlost.

For a world that seems rather large,

all you have to do is find

yourself, wherever you are.

And if you’re to go up,

then you better come down.

For a life without balance

is like a melody without sound.

Or a world that isn’t round.

And life seems quite strange,

yet not as strange as it seems.

While opposites attract,

there are no such opposites intact,

as a matter of fact.

Even though left is right,

right is also left,

as are the ups and the downs,

and all the arounds.

They’re all the same, no doubt.

Because we live in a world

where none of it matters.

All things are what they are,

whether close or far,

or from the earth to the stars.

And perhaps if you go right,

you may very well end up left

in a world that’s always right,

and at best, you’ll see,

you are right where you need to be.

I Love the melody without sound part. This poem just about sums up what life exactly is. Well done!

I agree my friend.
"And perhaps if you go right,
you may very well end up left
in a world that’s always right,
and at best, you’ll see,
you are right where you need to be."
The above lines are true. I believe we land where we support to. Each of us made to do something. Thank you Brian for sharing the excellent poetry.

I don't think I am right where I need to be at all haha.
But no this is a quite cleaver and inspiring write you have here.
This has great depth and meaning, I love the way you have written out this piece.
Your view on life and the way it is is very interesting indeed.
It is true you need the downs with the ups and things like that unfortunately. the downs are not very fun, but the world can be harsh and life is certainly no walk in the park.
Great write :)

Love it!! Its meaning, which you deliver with such ease and simplicity, is quite deep. That makes it appealing to a vast majority. Excellent job!

I really like this Poem Brian. You know sometimes, we waste a lot of time trying to become this person that we think we need to be and try to go places that we think we go to. But sometimes, we are right where we need to be. I really really like this poem, Brian. I don't know why I am being a little biased but I really like the message that this poem gives and I think I have said it enough times but it still doesn't feel enough.
