Lately my life’s intention
Has taken all my attention
Constantly I’m questioning
The way to my destiny
Becoming obsessed with it
The more it manifested
That before it ends
I want the best of it
For the rest of it
Seeking for some direction
I’m only left conflicted
Should I keep going with the flow?
As I come to a fork in the road
My minds prying to know
Just where in this life I should go
Time it can’t be borrowed
Hoping that come tomorrow
Somewhere a sign will show
Poetry

This poem sounds like graduating from college, hint, hint, which is exactly where I am now. It’s very spoken word like, so I would definitely read this at an open mic night or something. So in other words I love it and it resembles my style in a lot of ways.
And if this is in anyway relating to you; don’t worry, purpose will come. Just keep praying, hoping and writing and the answer will show. Beautiful piece, I will like to read more.
thank you very much, it is about me. I’m about to be 33 and I have no clue who I am. Congrats on graduation too by the way. I want to do an open mic night n recite but there is barely any events like that in Philadelphia.
I remember having thoughts like this in my 20’s. The thing I want you to know is this: Life is a constant quest for meaning. Don’t spend too much time thinking about meaning that you forget to live. Constantly try to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. That being said, I am 57 years old and I still occasionally have some of these thoughts. Good luck. Eat a cricket.
I’m in my mid 30s now and I question it more and more. I just published my first piece of writing/poetry so I’m looking forward to that. But I’m still in my mid 30s at life like what do I do? And eat a cricket lol does it bring good luck? Never heard of it.
I agree with Barnard. Sometimes you’ll only get to look back on your life and see the purpose. Moving forward is a constant quest. The best thing you can do is keep trying to stretch yourself and expand your comfort zone, and in doing so, you’ll gain more skills and experiences that will help lead you where you need to be. I’m currently getting a double Master’s degree in Creative Writing and Publishing. Before Spring 2017, writing was a lifelong hobby, but I’m turning it into a career. I’m not 100% sure this is where I’m supposed to be, because really, I’m uncomfortable at times. But that’s something I need to overcome. There probably isn’t going to be a sign, I just have to keep working until it fits… so I can sits. 😉
Congrats on making it a career . I’m on my way into the door . My first writing will be published soon. I’m wishing you the best of luck in your writing career, make the best of it. Not many people these days chase their dreams . Thank you for feedback too everyone , greatly appreciated ! Xo
