Is life unfair?
Looking for options
Without safe zones
I stumble on a journey
As exhilarating as the destination
Running the race
Enjoying the ride
Ruminating over the past
To plot my future
Experiences defining the path
Just keeping the head above the quicksand
Unconnected passions
Doing what comes naturally
Will I grow into a mountain?
Or shrink into a grain of sand?
Searching for the tag
That labels me consistently
Hearing the complaint
About that dormant trait
Hanging around for the long haul
To make it dormant rest of my life
Tuning my weakness
Camouflaging with strength
Is the act never ending?
Will the dream ever remain green?
Am I here for a purpose to fulfill?
Do you hear me my Lord?
Do I have to hitch myself in you?
Or you will bury thyself in me?
