Here (100 words)
How did I get here?
No,
really,
how?
I don’t understand
how I’ve made it to this specific place,
where the world feels truly in the middle
of happy and sad.
This purgatory of mundane.
Perhaps it was all the poor life choices,
that took this world from bright to dim,
that sucked the joy out of the little things
and left me feeling nothing.
Or maybe it was the words
I allowed others to speak over me
Altering my world-view,
changing my perspective of myself
I don’t feel strongly anymore
I just feel stagnant in this constantly moving world.
