Where Do I Go? Poem by Dhruvikumari Sharma

Where do I go
When I feel so alone—
Lost and searching
For the path to happiness?
What do I do
When I'm not quite sad,
Yet far from joyful,
Stuck somewhere in between?

Where do I go
When I want to speak
But can't find the words,
When I want to belong
But not feel caged—
To taste a joy
That doesn't hold me down?

Where do I go
When I'm surrounded,
Yet still feel empty?
Where can I find
A way to feel whole?
What do I say
When silence lingers
And words refuse to come?

Where do I go
To simply be—
To rest in stillness,
To find that something I need,
A thing I cannot name?
Where do I turn
When all I want
Is to feel complete,
Though I don't know what's missing?

Tell me, where do I go
To find myself,
To reach the place
Where all of this
Finally makes sense.
