Where have I failed?
To where do I go?
Spinning, reflecting, restructuring self
Waiting, holding to hope.
My breath belonging
Longing for you.  
My cells aching, craving to flee.
This land suffocates me.
Rest found only in you.
Tired of the ignorance,
I bury myself away.
Longing for that glorious day.
Yet still I wait.
Did I run you away?
Please come back for me.  
I don’t belong here.
Knowing what I know, I can’t relate.
Reality isn’t real,
Civilizations aren’t civilized.
If only you might take me away,
I’d love to help paint a prettier picture.
