Here Before

I'm yearning
for a change
thought I knew my way
but suddenly
I can't find myself anymore.

Hanging around
in search of answers
I've been looking high and low
but no such luck
I've never been here before.

I've been looking for the questions
to answers never spoke,
been told not to fix it
but I just can't help myself.

Walking around
in search of answers
I've been looking high and low
but no such luck
I've never been here before.

Escaping from this fate,
finding a way to change.
I can't find myself anymore,
but I've got to find my way.

Laying around
in search of answers
I've been looking high and low
but no such luck
I've never been here before.

Author notes

Came to me randomly during a school visit. I don't know exactly where it came from, but I appreciate being able to get my thoughts out onto paper. Life's been odd.

Please tell me what you think

    Excellent!

    A very interesting read, to say the least! i was never a fan of repetition to tell the truth, but it really works for you here... I could really relate to how you feel, we all live out our conflicts, one way or the other, and i think you captured this brilliantly. we are all stuck in our ways, a loop that we ourselves create! great write...

    I believe that you have just written down thoughts that have entered the minds of every about-to-be college student alive. I too felt lost and overwhelmed. and I agree that life in general is overwhelming. overall a very good piece. no suggestions from me.

    I really like the use of repitition in this poem... it speaks to me of the perpetual search that results always in frustration... lovely flow, nice rhythm - I enjoyed the read

    Keep writing
