I Don't Know Where I Am
January 16, 2017
I don't know where I am.
I've been walking for hours on end.
Everywhere looks the same.
These houses, cars, bushes, trees.
I don't know where I came from.
The street signs never change.
Corners, avenues, crossways, intersections.
I can't ?nd my way.
I don't know where I am suppose to go.
Left, right, left, right, I have to keep moving.
More turns, houses, empty streets, green lawns.
The hours keep passing me by.
I don't know how to get home.
I've reached the end of this street.
Exhausted, I sit on a metal bench.
I don't know where I am.

the inpiration for this poem was remembering a time when i was completely lost, late at night. I was alone, wondering the streets, trying to find a familiar street name, feeling completely helpless. My phone was dead, my hope was gone, and I had never felt so lost and alone. When I asked to write a poem based on a poetry walk that my class took down the street from my school, I decided to channel that hopelessness into my writing.
