I’ve got that
“I’m missing something” feeling,
picking at my brain
and I’m not sure if I’m seeking
in the wrong place.
Is it something long forgotten?
A past touchstone?
A memory that makes up
who I am and more?
Did someone whisper to me a secret
that I was to keep
and have now forgotten?
Or is it something
that I have yet to know?
Am I missing some thing
that I have never had?
A new horizon,
that must be claimed
for me to see what’s next?
I don’t know
if I’m lost,
or just not there yet.
This journey doesn’t come up
on a search engine,
maybe I need a time machine.

I really connected with this poem. It portrayed feelings I’ve had but haven’t thought about much.
I’m glad you found something in there that spoke to that part of you. I hope you don’t mind if you take it to mean I’m doing something right.
