May I Ask


May I ask,

Who are you?
Are you that which surrounds you?

That you’ve come to know,

Is there room for you to grow?

Are you a straight line?
Or bent, from trouble time to time,

Do you know where you’re going,

Or are you in search of a compass, 

Seeking,

No direction to head?
Where will you go,

Where will your life lead?

May I ask you, have you fulfilled your need?

Done that which you want,

Accomplished what you must,

Or are you running in circles,

Chasing a dream unfinished,

Following hopes diminished?
