When
Where am I going?
and
Where have I been?
have the same answer
it’s nowhere.
why are you still here?
is
it
because
you have nowhere else to go ?
i am the only place that he can go to
A lost hungry vagrant
on a train to nowhere
everywhere's his home

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII🚂IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

     on a patch of hay
     in the heat of day
     he doesn't bother to get
     on his knees and pray

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII🚂IIIIIIIII
      
          everything he wants
          is in his sweat and blood
          the shirt on his back
          and his matter of fact

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII🚂IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

                                     ­          no one can touch his
                                               solitary freedom
                                               even when burdened with chains
                                               and in heavy rains

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIII🚂IIIIIIIIIIIIII

                    he flies through time
                    known by himself
                    on a patch of hay

III🚂IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

        in an empty, lonely cart
        on a train to nowhere
        wandering the face of the earth

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII🚂IIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

yearning for Starlight💫
I went back and forth
up and down

suddenly I was nowhere to be seen
not even for myself

Out there, in the middle of nowhere,
I woke up and noticed I found a home.

“On a block of ice? Or a piece of stone?
Either way, I think this would suffice.”

Away from everyone. Away from myself.
Right there. Out there.

In the middle of nowhere.

And that’s when he said to me that
This is
As good as it gets
And I am
Your only friend
And the sun goes
No-where
When it sets
He said

And now I am only a little bit
Taller
Than when that was said
And I am
Such a broken man
And I know
That the sun goes
No-
     where
When it sets
     Because
     That is what
He said

When root of pain is just too deep
Down too far to unearth
No shovel is large enough
To remove that much aching earth

Reason fears suffocation
Tendrils choking tight
Wind knocked out my lungs
With vacuums bite

Of the misery I've experienced
Significant misfortunes had
In cruel replaced existence
None too severe to keep me mad

As fragile greatness shatters
Years wanting happiness
Inconsistent searching yields
Whispers and injustice

Fingertips touching occassionally
Silhouette and gossamer answers
None shedding light on solutions
Just methods behind cancers

There is nowhere to hide the sorrow
Nowhere to run from the tears
Do you get what I'm expressing now?
Embrace heartache
Love your fears
There is no cure to the suffering

My feet struck the earth
just as they did before.
I didn’t need to think -
rehearsed steps guided
my strides.

One foot in front of the other...
My soles tasted the concrete
with traction between lunges.

I was going places.
I was getting somewhere.

I wished I knew
where I was heading.

I'm nowhere, I just want you to hold me and not move.
You don't have to try anything, you got nothing to prove.

When I walk I got a thousand question marks rising above my head.
Why am I still not dead?

I'm nowhere but I see a world in your stare.
Nowhere.

I'm still here and I think it's not fair.
It feels wrong.
I'm nowhere.
I'm really nowhere.
I'm really not there.

Looking around here, a new phase.
Again?!
A new looking face.
Where did my mind go when it ran?
Nowhere.
Only there where it can.

Nowhere and I see you there.
I'm still nowhere.
I will be around
When I'm found.

Look around.
Looking around new face and body.
I just want you to hold me.
You don't have to move.
I'm nowhere, what have I got to prove?

Nothing, I should know by now in this nowhere.
Nothing to prove, not a single care.
In the middle and stuck in everywhere.
