The world holds so many places
That are useless to me if
I remain confined.
The flowers in bloom remain
Unseen and the stars, ungazed
If I can’t get ahold of my mind.
There are opportunities galore,
But my legs are unable to move
While my thoughts dash
Along the walls, the streets, the
Cities and towns; my head is
Moving too fast.
I’m not sure where it’s headed
Or where it’ll end, but I know
The uncertainty is frightening.
It’ll be roaming one night with
Ideas bouncing through, and
Then I’ll be struck like lightening.
This is it; here is my purpose.
I’ve been waiting for far
Too long.
At least it feels that way, if it
Would’ve taken longer,
Maybe I’d be gone.
But I made it and I’m there, in
The made up future
Of my mind.
I’m scared and feel like stopping,
But too interested in what
I might find.
So I’ll move on with dragged
Limbs and weary thoughts
That scream
Too loud to comprehend,
But I know they’re
Meant for me.
Forward I move, having little
To no sense made of my
Very aching.
I’m told to trust the process,
But what if I am only a
Disaster in the making?
I’ll never know until I arrive
At the destination I’m
Told is before me.
Maybe as I progress, I will
finally uncover the meaning
behind my mind’s plea.
