Everything has a purpose, so an old saying, and song. It's human to struggle with understanding what we're meant to do in life, and the reason behind each challenge we face. It's a hurdle that has daunted me for the longest time. And it still does.
Unravelling one's purpose is no small task. It requires bountiful introspection, willingness to explore one's strengths and more willingness to accept change.
And the biggest hurdle to overcome? Trust. Trusting that everything will unfold in good time. Enjoy these Senryus.
Hands of the clock turn
Needles wind by unknown force
Point to way ahead
Hands of the clock turn
Seek reason for revolving
Pointing to one's path
Hands of the clock wind
Needles turn with Guidance
Golden path will show.

You Think I Am Broken
Introduction This is inspired by my situation on Vocal, the Bouke de Vries work and the Screaming Trees song. I know that for many others, they would have walked away from Vocal, but I am taking it as a challenge. I get the feeling that Vocal moderators and others don't want me here (just my imposter syndrome paranoia), but I know a lot of people do, and obviously, some on Vocal do value me, so I will not be giving up.

Yes, everything happens for a reason but I just wish we knew what the reason was, lol. Loved your poem!
