The jungle of thoughts sink into my swamps.
Whispers of names are lost among the ashes.
A hiss of a voice is all that comes out of my throat,
As dreams slowly tremble, shatter and break,
Scattering the floor with their crystal clear colors.
I belong neither here nor there.
So with a rucksack spell-taped into my back,
I take steps with sticks of legs on the pavement.
Heading to what I call a home of peace,
But by the doorstep a beast of roaring voice stands,
With long claws and sharp fangs he sinks
His breaths into my lungs as I take them in.
Heaven is but a memory for me,
& hell doesn't deserve me.
I belong neither here nor there.
With rage of ages growing inside my bitter heart,
I transform my anguish into scary love songs,
And send my flames of anger to burn the trees.
I could never feel, my heart is ready to freeze.
As I call your name and hear nothing,
Nothing but distant echoes of my dreams.
I belong neither here nor there,
Or anywhere

WONDERFUL EXPRESSED FEELINGS!!!!!
Everyone at times feels so down and sad
. I have felt so dark and like all is lost so often. I feel like I don't belong anywhere almost everyday, it is such a lonely and empty feeling. You have expressed it so beautifully here.
