Where Do I Belong

too long i have longed 

for the feeling of belonging

each day i struggle 

to merely get up in the morning 

boiling the kettle 

buttering the bread 

oh how i wish 

i was somewhere else instead 

one day i may give up 

trying to please everyone else 

but for now, here i sit 

ashamed of myself

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Wow! What a powerful statement about the human condition and our battles with the internal and external perceptions of ourselves. The sparse choice of words is significant to the strength of your reflections.
