Katie Bak - The Unknown

Who I want to be <br />Who I'm supposed to be <br />Who I really am <br /> <br />Three very contrary paths <br />Three different lives <br />Which to follow <br />Which to become <br /> <br />Can I ever truly be one <br />Can I ever fit within <br />Or am I a wanderer <br />Aimlessly shifting <br />Never finding ones place <br /> <br />I can see them all perfectly <br />For what they really are <br />I know which I should desire <br />However, it is not want I thirst <br /> <br />I'm stalling trying to hold <br />To any time I have left to choose <br />My feet lye still <br />Eyes glance at the three paths <br /> <br />Who I want to be <br />Who I'm supposed to be <br />Who I really am <br /> <br />I close my eyes <br />Hold out my hand <br />And wait for someone <br />Someone to guide me <br />to advise me <br /> <br />Yet I stand alone <br />Facing the daunting futures <br />Confounded and stranded <br /> <br />But I place my foot down <br />And begin to walk forward <br />One slow stride to the next <br />Away from where I should <br />Yet unaware of where it leads <br />Only trusting in the unknown<br /><br />Katie Bak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-unknown-42/
