You're In The Wrong Place, My Dear Poem by Anisha Nyambe

if you can feel it at this moment
and you decided that by it's title it suits you
you're in the wrong place, my dear.

you on your own chose it
yet you were quite undecided and still wondering
why you hoped it would relate to you.

if it does, well and good.
if not,
you might be in the right place
at the wrong time and for the wrong reason my dear.

but, otherwise, for those who can relate
for those who have erased their past lives
yet still remembered their names,
you're in the wrong place my dear.

yea indeed, in the wrong place for a right reason
and for a good cause
in only your eyes.

has the world said no to you yet?
have you felt like giving up yet?

I know I have.
I know you have at some intercession of life
cries in your own arms
wondering how you got here and why.
I'm not here to tell you the answers dear,
only to tell you this, a simple message in simple English;

You're in the wrong place my dear
and you can get out and go to a right place
only problem is there will never be a right time to go there
because sometimes life says it's okay to make mistakes
because the mistakes have been perfectly planned by
life itself.

Oh yes. you're in the wrong place my dear!
