By now I should've known where I was meant to be.
By now, I should've been there.
Wherever /there/ is.

I'm supposed to be living my dream, rather than looking at the blue prints.
By now, I should've been making new mistakes.

I was supposed to be done with wandering and questioning and desiring things of this world.
By now, I should've been soaring.

The question, "what am I doing?"
By now, shouldn't even be a thought.
I'm supposed to have a calendar flooded with plans.

Whatever plans are.

By now, I should've been...
Somewhere else.

Wherever that elsewhere is.
Whatever it is, I should've been doing.
By now, I should've been there.

But maybe,
There is here.
And here is where I am supposed to be.
