Are We There Yet?

Never have I been religious

But something has kept me going

It doesn’t stop me from being suspicious

But am I hurt by not knowing

Like is this the path I’m supposed to be on

Or am I moving in the wrong direction

Are things supposed to go wrong for this long

Or have I not reached the correct intersection

Maybe it’s just me consistently being stubborn

Maybe it’s me dragging my feet for so long that I get rug burn

Or maybe it’s just my role to suffer

There’s just no quitting in me

Looking at everyone else creates hidden envy

Like when will my time be

Success has to be in the distance

Or maybe it’s closer

Is that why I feel such resistance

I am fed up with this lifelong trauma

I just want some closure
