I don’t know where I am going
At times
And it feels as though I am lost
In my head
I reach and grasp for meaning
I push and pull at reality
Life punishes
Life leads me astray
Looking for answers
I bury myself
In running, in writing, in working, art, in doing
And I become lost
Without a compass
Navigating my soul in the dark
Turning the wheel with intuition
Steering directly into doubt
Until behind me
Above me, below me, and all around me
I discover the fire within me
And it begins to light the way
