I Don't Want To Be Here

Sitting at the train station

Waiting for someone

Yet I don’t know who.

I don’t want to be here.

 

At the ocean

The lighthouse peers out

Looking for something

I don’t want to be here.

 

Standing in line

Behind many people

That are much more patient

I don’t want to be here.

 

Sitting at work

Listening to people babble

About meaningless nonsense

I don’t want to be here.

 

Sitting in my car

Rush hour traffic

Behind scores of cars

I don’t want to be here.

 

In a meaningless menagerie

That will end in nothing

But my demise

I don’t want to be here.

 

Laying in bed crying

Alone

Because I had a terrible day

I don’t want to be here.

 

Realizing while penning

That there is no place I want to be

But in his arms

Then realizing

While typing

I don’t want to be here.
