Why Am I Here

and not somewhere else

By HufflecupPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I don't believe life is just happening

that we all happen to exist at the exact same moment

is this the time I was meant to be born in

it feels like I am stuck in one spot

never really asked for a part in this play

now if I don't perform right, I don't get to stay

when I go off script, I don't get to stay

follow the rules, is all they say

a hero is someone who doesn't ask to be

to us, they saved the day

but they don't even think about it

good is just what they expect themselves to be

surreal poetry
