How did I get here?

muiruri Poems

How did I get here? Was this always my pre-ordained destination? I find myself amongst strangers In common ,the angst in all our minds is major I can see desparation and longing on their faces Does the inherent need for company and companion bring us all together to such places? We may all manage to bury our grief But the efforts at suppression turn out to be brief How did I get here? This is the question I need desperately answered Thoughts of days gone by ravaging my mind like a cancer Some do it to remember ,others to forget Eventually all end up upset A temporary moment of false calm and consolation These are the perks and privileges of self medication
