i was never really here and there

Tell me, God, where lies the way out?

How much longer must I wander, seeking?

I feel like a shadow, half here, half lost—

An outcast at heart, but born to defy

The lull of the ordinary.

This fire inside me grows fierce, unbound,

A storm that stirs in every cell,

Rising, roaring, ready to break.

I need a path beyond this life,

Not this ordinary, not this fate.

I cannot bear it.

So please, God, lend me a sign.

Show me the way, and I’ll follow it true—

Whatever it takes, whatever You will.
