I don't belong here

I feel like

an obstacle stuck

in your way.

You kick me

to the side of the road

in order to get

where you need to go.

Where are you going?

Do you even know?

Seems like you

go around

and around

and around,

always coming back

to the same place.

And always,

I am in the way.

You push me

this way

and that way

and all I can think

is I don’t belong here.

Nowhere

is nowhere

near the place

I want to be.
