Lost

I am lost

Thinking in circles

Stuck in a pattern

Unable to get out

Two jobs lost

Bored with the first

and unhappy with the second

and seeking more of the same

I am lost

How do I think outside the box?

Get off my cow path?

Leave behind what I know

Take a chance at change

I am afraid

I am lost

If I close my eyes

Imagine what can be

What to be when I grow up

I am long grown up

Never having answered the question

Perhaps I’ve always been lost

Where is creativity?

Where is my courage?

The value of my college degree?

I am smart but so what?

I am lost

What do I want?

To be useful

To be creative

To be valued and respected

To be excited to get up each day

To be paid what I’m worth

To use my brain and be challenged

To do something that matters in this world

To spread love and not hate

That’s it—that’s all

What do I want?

To be able to say

I am no longer lost
