PURPOSE

 

I lost myself in the quest of finding myself

I tried to retrieve me but I got a tip

Dear life told me to find a purpose

That I was bound to fall in a pit of darkness

If I dared not to look for me

Funny the compass stared back at me

Everything seemed to turn heads on me

My view ahead was vague

I almost thought I was blind

Tik tok tik tok tik tok

Minutes turned to hours, hours to days

No guideline no rules

No deadline no plan

What seemed like the quest to finding my purpose

Changed its color and nature

I am no master of chess

This wasn't another Sudoku puzzle

This was my life at stake

My future, myself

But looking at the blank papers

It turned out my purpose was finding me instead.
