POEM|Back Here
I’ve been here before
I promised myself I would never be here again
But here I am
Back here…
A place I’m ashamed to be
A place I know I’m not ready for
A place I can’t be who I am
Back here…
Wondering if the ground can swallow me up
Longing for a truck to run me over
Wanting a bomb to blow me away
Back here…
With pain
With regret
With disappointment
Back here…
Where I will be all by myself
Where I will be judged without a chance to explain
Where I will have to do everything on my own
Back here…
With tears stinging my eyes
Worry burning my veins
And fear consuming my being
Back here…
Why did I come here
How did I get here
Knowing what I had to spare
Back here…
Wish I didn’t have to think this again
Pray I find a way out again
Hope I would never be here again
