Where am I?
I gently stumble,
trying to find a coherent thought.
But I am not lost,
lost isn't the word.
Lost means I was going somewhere...
Not found is much better,
I know I will end up somewhere.
Here, there, or in between.
On a single path one must walk alone.
So I motion day to day,
move second to second,
but where do I bring myself?
I know not
of what I do not have
of where I do not take myself
Dread as I might,
I am but me
successful or not
I am the guide to my journey.
Control myself as I may,
I am but Steven
I am what I want me to be.
Thank you for reading I hope that I will get some helpful feedback!

Re: Where am I?
I like the idea of this, and the way you wrote it gives it that kind of broken up feeling and adds to the idea I think you're going for. There's just a few parts where it doesn't quite 'flow' smoothly like here
but where do I bring myself?
I know not
of what I do not have
of where I do not take myself
It's not that big of a deal, but I guess it'll help at least a little bit. It might also help if you changed some of your words around where an area is a little rough. Just a suggestion.

Cool. I especially like it up to this point. Just a few things. I'd take out the contraction in the fourth line (isn't). I feel like 'is not' would be more appropriate and just fit better. The only other thing is the ellipses at the end of the fifth line. It makes it look like you're trailing off, when what you're saying could be more powerful if they were left out.
But that's just my opinion, it's your poem after all.

Here, there, or in between.
On a narrow path one must walk alone.

Revised a bit I have changed some words and moved some lines around and combined a few...
Tell me what you think now, the ending is the same.
