Equally Disoriented

Trapped in a solitary bubble

Surrounded by people that I don’t know

So much potential

That I’m afraid to use

I am afraid of failing

Afraid of feeling

Secluded within myself

Still reeling from past hurt and confusion

My life is my own now

And I’m trying to forget who I was

And where I’m from

To begin my new life

But the past is who I am

When will I realize

That we are doomed to become

What we hate the most?

I long for the day

When I am at home

Within myself

Wherever I may be

So I can stop running

And just live.

Right now I am alone

In the universe

And equally disoriented

Anywhere I go
