Belonging

Would you really be there,

Would you really stay,

Would you still be standing,

If my wind tried to blow you away.

All my life I’ve dreamed of belonging,

To a place where everything felt right.

For once not overthinking,

While staring up into the night.

I don’t know what it feels like,

To have that kind of place,

All my life I’ve spun in circles,

So this time, let this please not be a maze.

All my life I’ve wondered if I could ever travel there.

But trial and error taught me,

that that kind of place is very rare.

So who knows, maybe one day that place will be mine,

But for now let me just get back in line.

Because do you really deserve that place if all you do is grief,

Stealing my own happiness, like an inner thief.

But, please oh please just tell me, how am I supposed to believe,

When everything that looked like it went in the right direction -

Really did just leave.
