Where do I belong in this world?
You need to think about this long and hard before answering.
Most people live their entire lives
Without even knowing this important answer.
What do I want to be and do with my life?
This is yet another good question for the ages.
Without knowing the answers to either
You just end up floating through life
Never really belonging anywhere.
Yes, you may belong to this organization or that.
You may or may not have a job.
You may even have a family.
But you will always have a feeling of not belonging.

If I were to have had these answers
I most likely would have never gotten divorced,
Never moved to where I am,
And I would still have a job.
Most of the time I feel like the world
Is just falling apart
And there is nothing
I can do about it.
This is because I am lost
Waiting to be found and polished into
A brilliant shine,
To the likes of which,
That no man has ever seen before.
I am waiting for my chance
To be on top of the word again
And not failing to stay there.
I have been where I am now for a while
And am no closer in finding myself
Than what I was
When I started my journey
I have no clue
If I have moved at all
For the darkness is all I see.
To me it doesn’t feel like I have accomplished anything.
I do not even know why I am here.
But, I know why I came.
I was running from something
That I did not understand.
Maybe I am still running.
Maybe I am trying to hide.
I don’t know
But I can tell you one thing
I am scared.
I am scared of what is to come,
I am scared to find out,
And I am scared of not knowing.
I am here for a reason
I just don’t know why
Yet...

I think many can relate to your questioning here...

It's the mind/ego that is speaking and overpowering the whispers of the heart ... so stop analysing and listen, just listen, while trusting fully any dawn's promise of light.

Love,
