The Quest
I have been sailing afar and adrift
Abroad on this quest for happiness
That people do get from their worth, who their with
Hands in the air, they wave of bliss
An envy now fills me, it is aching my bone
I cannot be like them, my heart is of stone
The months have been passing and still nothing has changed
Summer is ending, my search sustains
If life is a path full of thrills and fails
Then Heaven must be your passion on the trail
Far I run to distance everything
Time hasn't taught me much besides how to think
And the years have been unkind
But they drag at least, I guess
The triumph of my life hasn't come yet
Years ago I was steady, I sat still everyday
Waiting for some good to come my way
And look at me now, what do you see?
That greatness has still yet come to me
Something wrong with this poem?
