Finding My Place

Finding My. Place


Sometimes life just isn't fair ,
It tends to throw you a curve ball .
And wonder why you even care ,
Not knowing why it happens at all.
Looking for my place in this world,
Not knowing where to seek.
Like trying to find an oyster pearl ,
The options are so very weak .
Wondering where do I belong ,
Trying desperately to find this place ,
Not a lot for me to lean on ,
Searching , but not a trace .
Like a book collecting dust upon a shelf ,
Is where my life seems to be.
Hard to find this place by myself ,
If is there somewhere for me to see .
Hearts filled with hurt and pain ,
The hole seems to be so deep .
Thinking oh no , its not happening again ,
Trying so hard not to weep .

Many of us at some point want to find our place, some do and some do again. Only to lose it, and end in pain again. There's a hidden wisdom in your poem Susan >> James
