To be something

~ ~M

Like the wind
I come and go
And where I’ll end up
Not even I know

I try my best
To show who I am
But even those closest
Can’t understand

I often wonder
About things I should do
But lack of encouragement
Leaves me feeling blue

I feel like the whole world
Is expecting me to fall
But deep in my heart
I’m giving it my all

I’m no competitor
I’ve just never been
But I want to live my life
And be something in the end

  3. Interesting, isn’t it, that so many of us want to contribute, to make some difference of good use into the world in which we live. One good question is – why that, why do we care as we do? Often, do you think, questions matter more than answers do.
    Thanks Michelle

    1. I think creative types often care about things more deeply because we see the world through a different lens. I think William Wordsworth is a good example of that. And yes, I do think questions often matter more than answers do because they help us see that there is always more than one answer. Thank you for your comment, Neil. 😊
