NaPoWriMo21 DAY 2: SOUL APPROVED ROUTE

 

Fuelled by father’s dreams for me,

I galloped like a horse unbridled

rushing, lunging towards a goal

I knew nothing about.

 

New landscapes colored my horizon.

Stranger perceptions forced through

my measly existence, still I carried on

pausing but never actually reflecting,

 

to wonder why I was taking a route

I was not passionate about, why not

allow my aspirations to take wings

and fly towards the heavens that let you be

 

yourself, praying for a divine message,

I tripped, faltering in the race to win,

I stumbled on the path I recognized as mine,

an unlevelled track that my soul approved as fine.
