Not all who wander are lost
And not all who are lost, wander
Many, in fact, are stuck
In time, in place, in mind

Unmoving, they search
Never finding what they lost
Because what they lost
is the key to the chains that bind them
keeping them from finding what they are missing the most

Not realizing that what they need
was there all along, hidden inside,
buried in the coils of their desperate search

Blinded by the darkness that surrounds them,
they have lost the ability to see the light
This is the first time I've written anything in... 3 years, maybe 4? Well, it's a start I guess... I'm not even sure what this is. But I liked it, so I thought I'd share it. I think many people can relate to the feelings described here. 
I think this is the first time I've ever shared any of my writings here on DA (aside from one really bad attempt at a fanfic), so be nice please ^^

It's true it's very easy to relate to this poem.
I think I could have never been able to put this feeling into words, and the way you did it makesi to look easy to express.
