Missing Person
My life. A boat,I'm not sure when I wrote this. It was at a period when I felt particularly helpless, and definitely before I became a X'n. Missing Person's follow-up, Accounted For, was needed after I became a X'n and was written with joy and certainty, as opposed to the confusion and lack of direction that led to this poem.
Drifting over the ocean,
Meandering towards an unknown
Destination. There is a port,
Somewhere. I don't know
It's location, or even if
I'm going in the right
Direction. The waves push me
Where they will. I fight to
Control my vessel. How can I
Steer a boat when I don't know
Where I want it to go? Who is
The wind? What do I call the waves?
They try to direct me, but
I reject them. I try to make
My own way, and get lost. Somewhere
I left my life behind. And I
Can't go back and get it.
What's with all the poems?
