I cannot belong

The best friend said
It is the end
I said fight
Please don’t go away
But, I was not worth the struggle
She gave up on life,
hers and mine.

Then he packed his bags
I said please don’t burden yourself
Too many stuffs, let me carry the load
He said no, all the baggage is mine
I leave nothing behind

at a crossroad
someone was walking alone
Terribly lost,
I decided to walk with the stranger.
our steps fell in rhythm

yet another crossroad
as much I wanted to stand by him
He wouldn’t stand by me
He said, “Life is too long
I cannot belong.”

I liked the last line:

"Life is too long. I cannot belong."

Wonderful thought. Keep such thoughts coming.
