Along the street I look
For something that life once took
Finding it would fix my heart
The one that the world tore apart
People would just walk right through me
As if they couldn’t see
Ignoring me as though I wasn’t there
Shouting at the world for pretending to ever care
Running in every single direction there is
Turning over every rock to see if there’s anything I missed
Keep passing this same thing each day
Something always made me scatter the other way
Got an unknown feeling whenever I got around it
That fear inside of me screaming for me to quit
I’ve gone everywhere I could
Yet again my legs led me here to this piece of wood
Panic spreads throughout my body as I feel compelled to move towards that door
Sad thing is, I don’t even know exactly what I’m looking for.

This is a very well done write...i can certainly relate....great job
Thank you, and a part of wishes you didn't yet I mean I'm glad you know someone out there knows how you feel at least.
I understand what you mean....and i promise you, you WILL find your way...but learn from the journey so as to be the person you were meant to be.
Thank you, I believe I will too just trying to figure out when is the issue. I wish I could show you other poems but only one per day 😛 but um, hope you don't mind me asking how do you relate?
Im 45 yrs old....and have spent must of that time locked up...i was trying to find myself all those years, unfortunately for me, i was raised in a family that was made up of criminals...so my "way" was always criminal. Plus i was a raging alcoholic...see....i was looking for the right thing for my life...just in the wrong spot. Until i meant my wife...then it all came clear. It may or may not be a wife for you...but my point is....you will find it and the real joy of that knowledge, is the journey it took to gain it...i dont mean to ramble on...but you keep your head up and ALWAYS stay strong and true to you...
Wow, you are a fighter. And it's not a wife for me but there is someone. It's all good ramble on and I will thank you. I'm glad things worked out for you.
Lol...STILL working on it my friend...its an ongoing process til death
Yeah, that's what I've heard 😛
Lol..believe it
I will, thanks again.
Clever write and a nice 'twist' at the end.
The unknown is a great part of life and the world, and is what keeps everything so fascinating to discover. It can be scary though, as can any experience for the first time.
Yeah well I can't tell if this is going to be a good one or not. But I appreciate your comment.
The way is there and that door will open into the joy of life.
I like how confident you are that that's what's there.
