Where Will the Path Lead Me?

POETRY

A poem

What is my fate? What is my destiny?
Where is my path? Where will it lead me?
Why am I here, looking for an unknown why?
What is that burden that I carry?
Why am I looking for the stars in the dark sky?
Is it in order to find the light within me?
Why can’t I make sense of what I see?
Why do I feel lost and displaced?
Foreign in my own body
Unwelcome in my chaotic mind
What am I even looking for?
A goal to keep me busy?
A purpose to be of use?
A destiny that needs to be fulfilled?
How do I find its meaning?
How I do know what I am meant to do?
Maybe the map has already been carved in me
Maybe I need to start by looking within
Into the abyss that’s inside of me
Set ablaze the fears and the doubts
The self-righteous anger that is so empty
The prideful judgment that is so petty
Illuminate the darkness within
And set myself free
So I can finally be the real me
And do something meaningful
Something of worth and value
So that when the road comes to an end
I don’t find it filled with regret
Lamenting I had spent my life uselessly
And that my purpose had been absurdly empty

Thank you for reading!
