Many times I have shrugged in disappointment
as I am pulled from side to side
simultaneously concluding my skepticism
leaving me to gaze upon all the signs before me
that take me to places I do not understand.
A fight I am tired of confronting
yet with strength I find fragments of faith
as mini miracles sustain me in my belief
I lie awake searching for somewhere to belong.
Holding on tightly is part of the past
a new day brings forth circumstances that persevere
standing in the cross roads of tomorrow
I leave yesterday in the dismay of my control.
Sometimes when we falter we miss all we can't be
yet sometimes when we work hard we find what it means
to settle for something that will never happen
inevidably taking us into the future just as we should be.
A contradiction that repeats itself carrying a cross of blame
letting go into the universal patterns that circle us each day
round and round it goes as the wheel of fortune randomly turns
where it stops nobody knows, yet that is where we will be.
Collecting all my strength to follow my destiny
I will stumble as sure as I will fall
waiting for life to guide me home, to the place where I can belong!

Your prompt :
Life draws us in different directions, sometimes simultaneously. When you follow the direction that life draws you in, if you stay in a very powerful state of mind, then you'll see eternity.
