Poem #05
Such a proud and defining moment to gaze upon the unfamiliar horizon
Too easy is it to forget how such a thing can feel
Having spent my time being dogged down with abstract concerns
While the simplest of needs reverberated throughout my head
Ushering me back and forth
Such a routine as with any can be limiting when the unknown sits within your dreams
Calling you towards any act of novelty
How many adventures lost, sunsets missed, conversations never had
The seemingly infinite possibilities of that which I cannot know
Chosen over that of which I do
Yet for what
At the end of this road I feel empty handed
It’s difficult to accumulate the value I have benefited from this path
Have I grown in the ways I hoped, built what I had planned to build
Unsure to say the least
For the first time in a long time, my future feels undefined
The steps that lay before me go as far as my feet can carry
Perhaps now I have my answer
Mixed throughout my lack of one
