I Can’t Find My Place – By Susan Varo – 10/11/05

Neither here nor there

Nor up above

I cannot immerse myself

Into the things I love

My carefree spirit

Is spiraling down

No winds to catch me

From a cold solid ground

I’ve called out to Heaven

My God are you there

I cannot keep losing my way

There is too much to fear

These are changing times for me

And it’s so hard to face

Upon exploring opportunities

I cannot find my place

Where do I find the answers

Is there a particular place

Or have I been forgotten

Within time and space

Perhaps like a museum

In a section where destiny holds

Those like myself

In a hall of lost souls

Although I am breathing

I still need fresh air

Possibilities surround me

But for me they’re not there

I want mountains past rivers

With wildflowers and streams

I need to get started

Fulfilling my dreams

Why is nothing happening for me

What have I done

It’s like a cloud came down from somewhere

And blocked out all my sun

Where are my friends and family

Like how it was back when

Is this just the beginning

Or the beginning of the end
