I’ve been told repeatedly
By well-wishers who care for me
That I can be anyone I want to be
Then why am I in such a quandary?
There is a question existential
To find things in my life that are essential
Eliminate things that are inconsequential
And thus live up to my full potential
*
Many different factors are in competition
For my rather limited span of attention
I am fickle, I cannot prioritize
I don’t know where my greatest passion lies..
*
What do I truly want, where do I want to go
I have not figured it out, and so
I live life in a perpetual state of confusion
I wonder if self-actualization is just an illusion..
*
So I live (? or exist) from day to day
Awaiting clarity to appear my way
Maybe the universe has a plan for me
That I am not yet able to see…
Passion...unbridled
