There's been nothing to look forward to
The days seem intertwined
My dreams have become diluted
Stuck in the perils of my mind
I'll sleep the day away
Stay wide awake throughout the nights
The darkness hides the pain I'm in
And any remanence of my plight
What's out there lurking in the shadows
With the stars my only light
I stare into the emptiness
Weighing wrong from right
Questioning my role on earth
And which fire to ignite
To set in motion my devotion
And launch my rocket into flight
I am merely a speck of dust
In the grand scale of our 'verse
Our existence just an afterthought
That mother earths' disbursed
Sitting, waiting, watching days go by
The outcome looming large
An inevitable grave tragedy
As tears fall from loved ones eyes
I chuckle at the thought of legacy
For the future passers by
What a twisted complexity
This fragile thing that we call life.
The hustle and the bustle
The ladders we must climb
To reach the top, the utmost peek
Why even waste the time?
Where is the silver lining?
What mysteries left to find?
What discovery of all discoveries
Can amend this somber paradigm?
Love you say!?
I hasten to agree
How does that explain my disdain
For the person that is me
I, of good heart and soul
And adored by a grand descent
Still have yet to wet my whistle
By way of the clouds above my head
I feel I must confess my passion
To set the worriers at ease
Not for the sake of saying so
Nor for the galleries esteem
But for self and perseverance
The underlining good
So what, pray tell do you say?
It is that of motherhood
The nature of its being
The uniqueness and individuality
Of every single human being
And love, in this pretext
Is a love that I can bare
That of every living thing
In to which nothing can compare
A metamorphosis of thought!
For you and I alike
The yin and yang unearthed
The meaning of life.

I dug a little deep in this poem. With my motivation fleeting, I sought to connect the dots that would explain my purpose on earth. I discovered that balance is the key.
