The Path

A journey of self

By Ariana MichealPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I left home without a map,

All I have is the compass within my heart,

I find myself looking down at the past and missing what it is happening right in front of me,

When I pick up my eyes and look straight forward I find that I cannot see the potential,

I stop to star at the sky to see my future but miss everything around me,

Not learning from the mistakes of my past,

Not seeing the joy and beauty of the present,

I am floating in a bubble of inspiration,

The challenge is staying true to myself,

To my journey,

Armed with the only weapons I need,

My words are my sword,

My heart is my shield,

The path I am on is unclear,

However my heart beats strong,

The darkness is trying to block out the light,

However my soul is radiating,

The future is unknown,

However my mind is sure

I may not have a map,

Or even a destination,

What I do have is my notebook and that is all I need
