I'm not going anywhere
This is a poem I wrote about how I've been feeling lately.
I'm Not Going Anywhere
A breath they're here
A breath they're gone
They never stay for very long
Come and go
Just like before
Sifting through revolving doors
An empty room
A silent place
They all left without a trace
They said they'd stay
They said they'd care
"I'm not going anywhere"
Wow. I can definitely relate to this poem. I think you hit it on the head how I'm feeling right now, which is kinda lonely. Thanks MickeyKat.
Thank you for appreciating it. I find when I write poetry I get a better understanding of my feelings. For instance, this particularpoem is about being abandoned and alone. However, as I wrote it I noticed hints of bitterness flecked inside the words.
That's a good way to look at it. I like that.
I enjoy this poem a lot. I think it benefits from its simplicity. There's a feeling that even through writing this poem not much is being accomplished, that the futility of the human condition still remains evenin its creative moments. I hope that in your future you'll find someone special who will "stay". Thank you for sharing.
