Who am I?
I thought I knew.
Passion had always driven me.
Now though…

I am a sheep.
I followed the road I thought knew.
Now, the road is gone.
Where now?

I find that I’m clueless,
as to who I really am.
I feel darkness,
brooding over me.
When will it end?

Direction, assurance,
it’s all gone.
I am a page,
the author wrote with passion.
Now, he is unsure,
of where to go.
Why must this be?

Life is mad.
We have a false sense,
we think we know where our future lies.
Truth be told, we’re all clueless.

Who am I?
I thought I knew.
Passion had always driven me.
Now though…
Such is life.
