It took me so long
to trek to where I am now.
The length doesn’t quite justify
the present somehow.

I could’ve spent the span
sitting in the same spot for as long as I can.
Instead of taking the first step from which began
A length perambulating
in a circle on steps I’ve trod before.
The circle should be a spiral.
circumnavigations tightening in circumference to an eventual centre.
Circle is blinking and I have no clue
as to what is meant.
Error, warning, continuance of stepping is what I do.

All this time that’s spent
with no divulging of the centre’s core
I’m saying all this shit to myself as
I take the weekdaily step out my bedroom door.
There’s no praying to protect me against the day in stall.
I falter, clutch the handle with a loosening grip.
When was the last time I knew I said what I meant?

It took me so long
to look freely at my life.
Travelling from, amidst and into the strife.
Where is the wife to keep me strong?
When’s the last time I knew I said what I wanted to after I said it?
It took me so long.
It took me so long.
 
Yeah, sometimes I wonder where I'm going with myself as well, and why I'm not up to speed with everyone else. The only answer I've come up with for myself is that I'll got nowhere if I stop now.
