Where?

“Where am I?”
The man asked, 
Passing thoughts and sounds in unstable reverie,
Favors, he gave,
Enslave his consciousness,
People he loved,
Rejecting his esteem,
Steam rises from the boiling cauldron of his regret,
And in a jacket so tight that he can’t feel his hands,
He asks, “Where am I?”

Hope you're still on the Soup ... LOL ... been awhile since you've posted and since I already commented on "Joy" I thought I would go back in time and the answer to the question in this write is anybody's guess ... smile ...

Much to think about here. The struggle comes through your words. I just saw the picture of your beautiful family on your blog--looks like you enjoy each other. Happy Writing! Karen
