Cement (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 23

What's next?

Where do I go from here?

Now that it's over

Where should I appear?

I feel like I have no place

All this time and not enough space

That part of my journey is over

I passed the test

But what do I do with all the rest?

Life doesn't give you instructons

No manual or handbook

But I need to know where I should look

Because now I feel lost

In the middle of nowhere

I'm not even sure if I should even care

I took the risks

Came out on top

So why am I here at the bottom of the rock?

So many familiar faces

Lets me know that I don't belong here

I did what I was supposed to do

So why am I not up there?

It wasn't enough and no one ever told me

And now I'm stuck, not where I should be

Cemented into failure

Like it's my new name

Hard work is optional

It's all about the game

Who knows who

Who came from where

I guess that's the reason why I'm not up there

Years of doing the very right thing

Showed me the pain life can bring

So put my face in wet cement

I'll hold my breath and let it dry

Let it freeze the tears that I cry

Because I'm ready to move onto something more

What should I do?

I'm really not sure

So I'll lie in here in cement

Give me a while

I'll tell you how it went
