The Road to You and Your Passion
The Road to You and Your Passion ©

Sometimes your perceived passion in life
Takes a long winding convoluted trail
Traversing a widespread topography
Ups and downs it will often entail
At times you think you know it all
Sometimes it’s a mystery unsolved
So forge ahead with permutations of life
Sometimes just nothing feels resolved
You might start as a teacher, a preacher or cook
Perhaps an artist you were meant to be
Finding your passion can’t be taught in a book
Trust me, you’ll eventually see
Perhaps you decide to follow the passion
That your family pre-set just for you
Well that never works if your mind is adverse
You must follow what for you feels true
Now failures in life I have had me a few
What I thought was my passion was not
To remain in such failure brings misery and strife
So get out while some energy you got!!
There is no shame to discover in life
That your dreams were not really your passion
Sometimes it is, what it is and it is
Not for you and your unique charming fashion
I can’t tell how exactly to find what it is
That passion in life to pursue
But one thing for sure I know perfectly well
To yourself you MUST stay true!
About this poem
