where do i belong

hearing but not listening,
not paying attention,
texting while i'm driving,
watching tv while i'm on the phone,
nodding to rap when i'm working;

distracted
elsewhere
day-dreaming
restless
chaotic inner peace.

it's when you decide to let go
that i shall know where i belong.

until then,

watch your step,
pay attention to the road,
look both ways
concentrate

for i'll always be somewhere close by.
