Stuck

I'm not the type to comment their work, but I feel like this one deserves a line or two. This is the single piece of non-novel writing that has taken me so long to complete. Literally 2 years in the making, I feel like this is now ready to see the light of day. It will probably make little or no sense to any of you. Based on a quote, I've developed it over these 2 years into this and it's a reflection of me and everything that happened between then and now. Thanks, J.

I go nowhere to be somebody,

To say nothing and feel everything

In the shades of anywhere

And in the plants of everywhere

I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere,

In the meaning of somewhere,

Talking with my beauty in your words,

Singing lullabies we never understood.

Swim in the fire and die in ice while

I build the bridges you burn,

In hopes that your walls will fall down

And you’ll mirror me with your grace.

Map my soul with dots and lines;

Draw all the lines between
Your world and mine;

I am in love with cities and people
I’ve never seen.

I look at the sky on a bright

Summer night and I wonder,
How do I know if what I see as blue

Is the same as it is to you?
