Solitude

SOLITUDE

I am walking alone

Getting closer each day

To finding my ikigai

And fulfilling my purpose on the way

Destiny has something rare in store for me

My likes and dislikes are unique

My preferences are known to me alone

And my weird complexities arouse mystique

With a vision in my mind

And ambition oozing from my soul

I dare to design my dream

And see it come true as a whole

No one can ever understand me

In recluse I aim for my next milestone

No one can help me because

This is a journey I have to walk on my own

From my loved ones and well wishers

I may receive help from time to time

But it’s up to me to reach my goal

And satisfy my inner quest in this lifetime

At times I feel troubled and scared

To walk on this journey in isolation

Especially when faced with obstacles

I am filled with helplessness and frustration

But then I reach out within myself

To gather the courage and keep going

And beyond my wildest imagination

I realize I do have strength overflowing

I know it’s going to be worth it soon

And someday it will all make sense

Till then I am going to enjoy the journey

Without focusing on the future tense!
