“The Place I Never Want to Be” A Poem on Emotional Distance and Longing

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

“The Place I never Want to Be”

The place where I am currently at.
Not physically though,
much too complicated for that.

.

I don’t mean to beg,
I don’t want to plead.
But

.

down here on my knees,
Praying to a God I know
Cannot hear me to heal me.
An impossible task to ask.

.

I’m starting to fear me.
What might I do to,
get back to you?

.

I don’t want to belong,
Where my mother no longer
holds everything strong.
