Certainty Within the Unknown


Similar to an organism held under a microscope,

They analyze me for any signs of progress.

Eager eyes watch me

Anticipating,

Waiting for something to happen;

For anything to happen.

 

While my next move remains a mystery -even to myself-

Surely I do not intend to remain stagnant.

I am full of hopes and wishes and 

and the knowledge that there may be a million ways to get there.

 

"Choose a career!"

Screams the world around me,

"Choose a path!"

But I have yet to live within the realms of reality that would allow me to make such a decision.

 

There are a hundred things I know for certain,

And a million more that leave me in the dark.

Undoubtedly, I want success.

I want the morning to find me in a state of excitement,

Radiating satisfaction with my life and where I am going with it.

Above all, I seek happiness.

 

What is my dream job, you may ask?

To be an advocate for my own happiness

Through the uncertainties found in the paths

That I may stumble across along the way.
