My Left, Your Right

Lauren M. Jones

From you I know there’s nothing Left
But from the Right is all I ever wanted
To turn the other way would be a sin
Yet what have I to lose?

I reside in the Left
Where there is nothing
The opposite way can surely be better
Though I don’t know for sure
No one ever came back
After going into the Right

Maybe they didn’t want to come back
That everything there was too good
To walk away from

Or maybe they weren’t allowed to leave
They could be held hostage
Tied in ropes from a trap

So now what to do?
Do I give in to this place?
Or stand my ground?
I can’t tell what I’m thinking
Or what seems to be common sense
Why doesn’t anyone come back?

Here I seem torn between
Looking towards the Right
I’m standing not knowing how to decide
Is not coming back better than returning?
