Wondering & Wandering

How did I get here?... Is this where wandering after my own desires has brought me?...

Where has wanting gotten me?

Aside from wistfully wandering for apathy...

wanting to want nothing,

but forced by my consciousness to be walking in this dread between my dreams‐

or rather, a nightmare between my nightmares.

~

Where has desire led me?

Aside from the wonders in this field of displeasure...

wishing that my heart had bled out already,

but continuing to wake in my apparent selfishness beyond any measure...

walking dead through the day‐to‐day.

~

Where has longing brought me?

Aside from wondering hopelessly,

wandering aimlessly,

wishing dangerously,

and wanting to finally find nothing.

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

    This is beautifully sad. “Walking dead through the day-to-day” really stuck out to me.
