Stuck (working title)



Where am I headed tomorrow?
How am I feeling today?
Who am I now? 
Not the same person 
as yesterday. 
Yesterday it was all figured out,
why can’t I remember for what
reason that it isn’t today? 
Or the day before that?
What do I believe in? 
In love I crave but 
never feeling,  
in God I fear but
not believing,  
in dreams I’m stuck but
never being.  
Woke up with an appetite to live
but without a craving, 
so I settle to survive 
and go back to dreaming. 
Dreaming of something more than 
what is real 
and never waking up again, 
but just existing, 
breathing in and out,
eyes looking at everyone 
but seeing nothing, 
conforming with what society
wants me to be instead of 
being what I’m dreaming,
filling up space, walking forward 
but going nowhere, 
never living out the dream
I’m still dreaming because 
with eyes wide blind,
I’m still sleeping.

Something I typed up last night as I was procrastinating hard core from studying for a huge test I had this morning. Not sure if we're still going to be handing in poems so I figured I'd post it here in hopes for some feedback.

  1. Well done, Selina. The emotion and energy are good. I naturally want you to make this real by giving specific details from a (not necessarily your) life....
