I've not lived, but
I am merely existing
Passing through life
Like a leaf wafting through the air.
No, I've not behold sunshine, but
Merely riding on the wings of darkness
Seeking after that which is afar off.
Like a predator seeks its prey.
I've been lost for too long
With only the compass of my heart
To tell me the way forward.
To point towards a destination
Longed after.
Deep dissatisfaction plagues me
My heart yearns and longs
For the objects of my destiny.
I live now, but only in my imaginings
I'm hungry for something
Something in the oblivion,
Something in the farther away,
Something soaked in blue-
A dream spiralling from my inner self.
A hunger for something more,
For something that can be,
For the thing that needs to be.
Tired and tireless, all at the same time
Tired of these restraints
That hold me
That tethers me to commonality.
That keeps me with the Crowd,
The common, the usual, the masses.
But I'm different
'Tis what I've been screaming silently
I want to experience more
Do more, go everywhere
Without limits, without borders.
Tireless in my quest,
Tireless in my cause.
The clarion call of destiny,
A rise to the taking of arms
To soldier on to the wanted life.
Tell me, what is my wrong
If I be different
If I be spotted like a leopard
Differing from my kins.
If I be a pariah among my brethren.
Tell me what is my crime
If I desire a little more,
A little different more?
I've been lost for too long
Bouncing from one identity to another
Yet hungry for who I truly am.
No more, not anymore
I've lived a lie for too long
I cannot keep myself from tipping over
And reaching for what is mine
And who I am indeed.
