My Place In Life
Uncomfortable in my own skin
I’ve no idea where I’m going
Can’t remember where I’ve been,
Did I mean to lose my way
No, that was unforeseen.
***
I have friends who try to guide me
So that I never go astray,
But my terrible sense of direction
Always leads the wrong way.
***
I continue to change as I grow older
Take more notice of my surrounds,
But life is balancing on a tightrope
And I’ve no idea how to get down.
***
Most of my decisions seem wrong
It’s not often that they are right,
It’s like I’m caged and chained
With no escape in sight.
***
My tears are the rain falling
My rage, the roar of the wind,
I’m searching for my place in life
Uncomfortable in my own skin.
