A storm has hit me, thrown me away from the path I once travelled,
I am lost, unable to overcome the fears I once dispelled.
I try to stay positive; I know I have no other option,
But sometimes you have to give in before you can find the solution.
A day, a month, a year...time has run by and a shell has grown,
I still find myself lost, unable to recognise my own.
Have I spent too much time towards the wrong thing?
Have I messed up in indecision, rage, fear or sloth?
Or am I thinking too much beyond meaning.
I won’t dwell upon the genesis of the storm,
Time has long gone, and I won’t curse them for what I have become,
For they have shown me what may happen,
For I know when I look back upon;
Not the relief of vengeance satisfied, but only joy and peace will stay when I overcome,
And now, I have to act before I drown in this storm.
I may have spent too much time,
But once you learn, you’d realize it hasn’t cost a dime.
I may complain that I have lost on things experienced by others,
But I believe there’s a balance, and I will experience what I desire, I deserve in the times now or later.
This is how it is; we are driven by faith,
We need to believe in something that can drive us out of our troubles before it is too late.
One may argue, which path of belief would be true,
But if we were to know everything, life would have no meaning.
So, I won’t say what pulled me out of the storm,
Because it is the journey that is more exciting than the goal we fancied on.
