Still point

A Poem

I have been many places

Seen so many faces

Known many struggles

Tucked through some troubles

I have had such adventures

That I never could have imagined

Would be my own to call

I have walked by shallow rivers and almost drowned in waves

I have been hungry

Lost and

Very cold

I have met many, but only known some

I have gone unconscious from my own madness.

I have been hit and told I am smart, all in the same day

I have looked up at the sky and wondered what this life is really all about

I have turned my back and driven away from everything I’ve known

I have had tears fall that no one knew of

I have had many laughs and many doubts

I have risen up again and again when I just wanted to stay in bed

I have known sickness and health

I have felt invisible

I have taken many chances

I have lied and I used to steal

I never wanted to hear some of the things this world has told me

Nor do I believe them all to be true

I have received many answers

Yet, still have many questions

I never stopped driving my mind, in the direction of infinity.

Now I am working at being ok, at a still point

But yet again,

I

Am

Restless
