Where Did I Go?

I feel my mind is going away
And, along with it, my heart
Knowing, I can't take it back
Just, go back to the start.

If, there was a way I could
I'd, be, all that I could be
I'd be something different
Than who, everyone thinks, that's me.

There are so many things, I'd change
(But, is that all really true?)
Would, I really change those things
That, I knew, I shouldn't do?

Would I be a different person?
Or, am I, best, that I know
Would it have changed some things
If I didn't go, where I did go?

The World would be a different place
There's some things, that would be changed
If, I'd turned right, instead of left
Everything, would be all, re-arranged.

Methinks there are rather many of us out here ...'fringe dwellers' along the wasteland of the
"Runaway American Dream" ... feeling essentially the same as thoughts you express in this write.

well 'penned' !!

I think we all feel that way sometimes. Nicely written.

Your poetry does strike a cord with me.  This was also another gem.
