Don’t ask me where I’m going
Cuz I don’t know
Don’t ask if you can come along
Cuz I’m not sure
The distance I have traveled already
Has been sea and shore
And now here I am,
Once again ready to go
Don’t ask me where i’ve been
Cuz its secret
Done ask me if i’ve seen all I wanted to find
Don’t ask me if i’ve escaped my mind
Don’t ask me if i’ll be alright
Don’t ask if the treasure is finally mines
Don’t ask me if i’ve walked a thousand miles
Cuz you could never fit my shoes,
Don’t ask me to tell the stories of my travels
The ones I’ll tell you
I will choose
This is all a bit new
For you…
Don’t ask me what chilled my bones
And ate my flesh on the cold nights
Don’t ask me what all it was I had to fight
Don’t ask me how long
I was confined to the night
All the while grasping for the sun
All while grasping for someone
All while praying my journey will come…
To an end
And when I wake up from this nightmare
Dont stroke my hair
Don’t send God a prayer
Cuz when I was stuck you were never there
And when I was lost you didn’t care
And I’m almost dead
And you’re over there…
So if you don’t mind
Go back
So I can return to my dreams…

I’m a big fan of “bending the rules” when it comes to wordplay, particularly in this craft, and while I did something similar in one of my most recent posts, yours feels more raw, and direct. No need for flashiness – you’re to the point, and that’s truly effective writing 🙂 Amazing!
Thanks so much cy… Always appreicaite the support ❤
the rawness gives it such greatness 🙂

Sometimes when hard times come you’ve got to put it in your back pocket. I can feel plenty of emotion in this Andazi. 🙂
Thanks you!?
