Prisoner of life

God is making me your prisoner

what is my destiny I keep asking myself 

but maybe you have an answer?

Am I wasting my time on this earth?

Perhaps I should take a gun and shoot

it would be over before I know it

day after day of trying, 

trying to find my place

I feel so lost everywhere I go

Can someone give me a map of life, please?

I'm tired of standing in the middle of nowhere

It's my time to find my way or die.

It is the poem of despair. You always search for the meaning of life, happiness or something else. That never ending searches sometimes might be really hopeless. You love someone and you think it is the meaning of something, your life starts to have value once again. But then what? Like every love it has an ending too... After this fail again you start to think about all of that meanings again and try to get invlolved something, take a path to live on without a map...

Recently I have read a book called "man's search for meaning" and your poem reminded me of it... We all feel this way once in life, we all want to find a meaning and purpose of our presence here and most of us in today's world hardly find it because of the chaos and fast pace situations of life but I believe we all have a purpose to serve here and if we look through life with patience one day in time it will reveal..
I understand the meaning behind the poem...

This poem is so sad and full of raw emotions. I truly hope you are not planning to do anything that would take your own life. Do you have anyone you can talk to. I'am a good listener you could write to me and I will write back. I don't want you to feel no cares. I care about you. I want what's best for you. Please try and keep in touch. Eva

life and its true purpose......
it will always be a mystery for our living selves..............
what i think the best course of action is choose a the path and the meaning by which we want to define our lives.............choose a purpose we hold dear and know we will be able to serve/fulfill.......
but yes, having a map would be just fantastic.......
great write....
i loved it!!!

i don't believe in god...And sometimes think of life...Well the main component of it, to be just addictions and choices.. These define how the rest comes and goes. Life itself is just a complex of addictions, and choices, life itself is an addiction.
Now remains choosing your way through it. Good luck.

Goes with me as well. So really have no words to answer nor review something constructive. But only thing I remember is patience.. My hope was lost long back. Feels like I'm just dragging on my life.....
Being caged with studies...family...and whatever I am in....feels never ending now...just some minutes spent with paper and pen relieve this soul....nothing else matters cause no one cares..and all that I know is I stand nowhere......
thanks for sharing though... nice piece..
