Not Going Anywhere

Ever had one of those, "Why dont I just pack up my things and get the heck outta here" moments? But then you realize you need to stay put? This is a poem about just that.

I stared at nothing

I clenched my fist

While asking myself

Why I still do this.

 

I try to clear my thoughts

So why are my thoughts still taunted?

Why did life happen the way it did

Instead of how I wanted?

 

But I know I am meant to be here

I know I am meant to do this

The answer to my wishes

Is not always what I wanted.

Author's Note

By the way, soon after I wrote this poem, life did take a turn for the better. Things worked out. :-)

This is so beautiful. And... powerful.
I've been there, am there...
and you describe it in words I've been fumbling for.
I love these lines
"I try to clear my thoughts
So why are my thoughts still taunted?
Why did life happen the way it did
Instead of how I wanted?"

Thank you so much for sharing this!
