So How Would I Know?

I’m supposed to be going somewhere, doing something

Being someone, learning some things

But how do I know, where I want to go

In a world so vast, I think I’ll come last

Time will not stop… on this Social Clock


So how would I know where I’m supposed to go

It’s late at night, I can’t fall asleep

All my mistakes are screaming at me

It’s this Insomnia that keeps me chained down

I feel like I’m going nowhere in this ghost town 


The world keeps landing it’s punches at this fighting ring

I don’t want to fight back, I need my words to upswing

I can tell the world doesn’t want to Compromise

It will never be one of my allies


And so I reach out for Consummate Love

Someone I can care for and rest my boxing glove

I know I felt immediate infatuation 

When I saw him hit the world for me in confrontation


So now I know where I should go

Being someone… doing some thing.


The author's comments:

This piece was inspired by the confusion people often face when entering the world alone for the first time. As I am about to gradute high school myself, I'm excited and scared for my future. Many others face this same feeling, and for that I want for others to know that they aren't alone.
