Caught in-between
neither here nor there
stuck in the middle
lost and nowhere
searching for answers
we don't deserve to know
believing we're entitled
to all they bestow
trapped in a time
where so little makes sense
hopelessly sifting through
all the lofty pretense
grasping at straws
just going along
paying the price
for all that is wrong
attempting to decipher
things we know to be false
trying like mad
just to stay the course
focused on a goal
something you hold dear
trying to tune out
the bullshit and fear
"who am I…"
reaching for the stars
questioning the man
making a difference
was always part of the plan
taking the road
the one less traveled
assuming the answers
will someday unravel
wanting to believe
while attempting to steer
this paradox of life --
but.., why am I here?

I watch recently an old movie tittled "Instinct" with Antony Hopkins...
He made me remember our instinct roots & as nature have build use, i believe the best way to act is to be "The Silver Back Gorilla". Meaning, we all have to watch out for the one we care & if we all do so, then the world be for sure a better place =)
BOOOOM!

The paradox of life... So why are you here? This is this question that make the life beautiful. If we had the answer to it, it would maybe lose its sense. I guess? :-)
Sweet and Deep poetry you made here. English is not my native language, but you made it really easy to understand, but complex at the same time.
Cheers!

Having all the answers would make it kind of boring I guess... Thanks for the thoughtful comment @troilo

these moments of confusion to arise don't they! I do believe we all have something to contribute however small or large and also that we can make a big difference by just being decent and thoughtful everyday. But then again, I'm hopeleslly hopeful :-)

Daily! This entire piece resonates with me. Sorting through it all, questioning everything. I just wrote today about how our minds are wired for fear and bullshit, it's the retraining yourself to not listen that's the hard part.
Beautiful poem! Upvoted and Followed!
Best,
Mo

You are not alone.., so much of the world operates out of fear and bullshit. And you are spot-on when you say tuning it out is the hard part...
Thanks for the comment Mo.., it is very much appreciated. Have a good one!
