Uncertainty

Times of uncertainty and unemployment
A future that seems so bleak
And with nowhere to call my home
Mourning a love which is not lost
But just so very far away.

I’m surrounded by banal people
Who once seemed like so much fun
But now, the gloss has all diminished
They’ve all either changed
Or worse still, just stayed the same.

I’m trapped in this small town
That I once considered my home
Haunting my past like a ghost who can’t let go
I don’t belong here anymore
I’m different from the person they once knew.

I look to nature and into space
I stare at the sun, the moon and the stars
Desperately looking for inspiration
But my vision’s clouded with self doubt
I feel so futile and insignificant
But even so, I struggle through the confusion
And all the while, she forever fills my dreams

I really like the way you are able to set down your thoughts. It seems like part of a cathasis when you are moving through a period of self assessment, the next step being to move on. Nice poem.

Yes this poem has definitely got deep meaning. I remember when I had to go back home, where I spent my child hood, to nurse my dad who was dying of cancer. All the people I once knew and were close to, suddenly did not mean anything to me, but I don't think it was them, it was me. I had moved on in my life. Like in your poem some had stayed static and some had changed so much there just was'nt anything there anymore. Yes this poem got me thinking that perhaps Iam not the only person who felt this way. Good One. Jenny
