Right Where You Belong

-Right Where You Belong-
by Keaton Foster



Right there
Not here
So unfair
I don’t know
And I won’t
Really I’m lost
Missing everything
Owning nothing
I have no chance
Not one
Never was I meant
It’s a sad reality
Thus my dichotomy
The darkness to my day
The sadness of my heart
A truth that I cannot escape
Stop
You are and have been
Right where you belong
You’ll alone
Will never move
Frozen in that spot
Unsure what’s next
Just too afraid to find out
Personally I have
Little to no fear
Of course
At great detriment to myself
You have too much fear
Of course
At great detriment to yourself
We share the same code
The same modus operandi
Yet that is it
Nothing else between us exist
I act differently because I can
While you act differently because
There is no other way for you to act
Your fear is your dark master
The king of your day and night
The ruler of your heart and mind
Right where you belong
Is where it always keeps you
I will of course move along
Watching the show
From a wide array of perspectives
Watching you destroy yourself
I’d feel sorry if I was capable
I’d lend a hand if I could
But I cannot
I may be lost
Missing everything
Owning nothing
Having no chance
But what I do have
What alone is mine
Is greater than yours
Right where you belong
Is where your fear has placed you
I am enjoying the show
The intricate ways in which you act
The microcosmic avoidances you enact
Blocking you from the world
Right before your eyes
You see nothing compared to me
I see it all
Every ounce of good and bad
Every fool and every liar
Every decent intention and bad
Right where you belong
Is where you are
While I
Am somewhere else…
