"Where is it that I am now?
Where do I belong?
I carve away a niche with this rusty, broken blade,
But my hands are tired,
Riddled with cuts.
My fingers are weary,
Distorted with the effort of chipping away
At an indestructible stone.
I measure my progress
That doesn't exist
And I wonder whether
It is my tool of choice
That holds me here
Or rather
The place I am trying to remain in.
[...]
And now I find myself a lost cause,
Pondering in the cold, rainy afternoon.
Wandering down roads in my mind that
I should have,
Would have,
If I were wise,
Wandered down before letting myself
End up here.
Empty.
Drained.
Wondering.
Wanting.
Wishing.
Considering.
[...]
I digress.
I ramble.
But it is through these ramblings
That I find my answers.
Where do I belong?
Here.
On this page,
In these words.
This is where you will find me.
Projecting my reality,
Or perhaps creating one.
Relieving my restless mind,
Or perhaps doing it more harm.
Seeking the place I want to be,
Or perhaps leaving the one I'm meant to be in.
I do not know."
This poem is not one of my own creations. I randomly found it and only kept the parts I liked and thought that suited me most.
