what do i do now?
i mean,
i know what i should do.
find a place that i'd rather be,
take a dart to a list and see where it lands and take the world by storm.
what an odd phrase-
storms are disastrous,
they ruin homes and families,
tear apart foundations that took years to build-
yet we are encouraged to take on the world in that way.
is that why i can't find a place for me?
i didn't come in raging and creating a space for me,
simply looking for a small spot that was empty.
storms have come into my life and done more harm than good-
there's a reason storms are named after people and i know quite a few i think deserved higher rankings than they were given,
i underestimated them-
or did they overestimate me?
i'm just looking for someplace i belong,
somewhere i can set down my things and lower my head-
and just breathe.
please.
i need a minute to breathe.
