The Breaks
Who am I, and where do I belong?
I often find myself hugging those questions
where is this peace and tranquility some speak of
why must it hide from me
I want to be able to lay in bed and not worry
to be free of sheep type stresses
paying for air to feed my lungs,
and yet the birds fly free
I'm lost I can admit that
my path is riddled with misdirection
some days I cringe at the sun
wanting, something unattainable
forced into a minimalistic lifestyle
I carry few objects and even less faith
I wanted and therefore I don't anymore
the stars are just aligned that way

great piece here Nikkimoe, these quarter life crisis come and go ;)
deeply relate-able to read, you put your thoughts onto the screen without flair or fanfare and the lack of what I call Nikki-wit, makes it all that more solid.
maybe a comma after 'I'm lost, line 9 and 'I wanted, line 15. try it see what you think
good stuff Miss, shine on

Nikki,
You write so well of thoughts and feelings I've often had myself but never put into words.
Thanks for this Nikki.

Heh! "Sheep type stresses". I know what you mean. I've heard it said that the wisest course of action for many of us is to never own more than you can carry. There's also the quote from the film "Heat", when De Niro says "don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." If only life were like the movies, eh? Many things are just not possible. I'm starting to believe that the misdirection is what carves our path. It can be so confusing. So much is unattainable. But we get better at failing. These days, I don't know what I'd do without being lost. Wonderful work, Nikkimoe.

Trust in your own flow, for all the shit that's just so.
I have long admired how you can spit without having to explain your shit. No pause for reflection. Fine work, Nikki!
