You Are Out There 1

 Thanks to Inayah for sending us this poem!

You Are Out There

My mind is scattered here and there,

Don’t feel like I belong anywhere,

I know you are out there – not in my head,

Staggering endlessly just like the dead,

I know you are real and no pretend,

My one friend,

Someone who will dare to dare,

What everyone thinks about me my friend won’t care,

If only I was sure,

Where my friend is, what we’ll endure,

I am determined to do this quest,

I really don’t care if I do it the best,

I am here for just one thing,

Not to be rich or not to be king,

Now I can tell that you are near,

To find you I’ll face my fears,

I will keep looking for what I need,

And I know I will succeed,

Until I make my quest complete,

I cannot wait until we can meet.
