The journey


The search for truth keeps me
Trekking across uncharted lands
And diving under unventured seas
Where I find myself alone,
Without the comfort of familiarity.

 

I must listen to the call of my heart –

The call that won’t let me live content
Following worn paths walked by countless others,
Taking the road society saying it leads to success.
I wish it wasn’t so hard 
It would be much easier
If I could distract myself from meaning,
From searching for the answers to this string of thoughts
Unraveling in my mind, but I cannot.

 

I am a seeker,

Seeking beauty, seeking truth.
And to deny myself the journey of self discovery
For the sake of comfort
Is a travel for my heart
 

 

It’s never easy to abandon the crowds,
Leave the pack,
And become a lone wolf,
But by keeping the status questioning
You’ll never find the piece of yourself
You’ve been missing all your life –
The piece of you that you’ve been afraid to acknowledge,
The piece of you that connects you to your destiny,
The piece of your puzzle that fits perfectly into place
Forming a beautiful portrait,
And the piece of you that makes you come alive.

 

It’s time.

I’m  ready.

i started my journey

and i will end it

once i found answers
