Color by Numbers Picture of Success
I go through the day,
And I don't know who I am.
I don't know who I want to be.
I know what is accepted,
What is expected.
I see what I should be.
Images of what others want for me.
Yet,
Still...
I don't KNOW what makes ME happy!
I "live"...
Simply following the motions.
The instruction manual that others have placed before me.
A color by numbers picture of "success".
In that picture,
There is no color called,
Passion.
