“directions”

a poem about feelin lost

maybe

there was a great effort

i gave it all i had

maybe

i decided to growl

and bare my teeth

maybe

i scared myself

ran away from places

i won’t ever find again

maybe

i lost sleep

mistook north for longing

maybe

i got turned around

followed the wrong star

maybe

i didn’t even need

to move my feet

maybe

i took a long time

to make a short journey

back to where i am
