I just stopped and asked myself a question
'What am I truly passionate about?'
I don't know why I was thinking about it
But I think it's time I reassessed my life
My family and my friends are definately at the top of my list
I would be willing to sacrifice anything for them
But what else?
Everyone is passionate about something
I just can't figure out what for me
Maybe it's music
When I can play
My emotions reach you through my fingers
Or my voice
Maybe music is my passion, that keeps me alive
Maybe it is writing
When I can express everything in ink, or by the keyboard
Writing is an escape for me
I can tell you a story by the weaving of words
Maybe writing is my passion, and through it I thrive
Maybe it is the Lord, My God
He runs the whole universe but has time to listen to me
He is my father, my saviour, and my friend
Maybe it is the Lord, who is my saviour King
I need some time to think about this
A getaway to take everything in
Is it music, or writing or God
Maybe it is everything
These are the things that drive me through the day
They make me smile, they bring me joy
I don't think I know a greater joy than doing what I love best
Playing music, writing poetry, praising the Lord
These are the things I am passionate about
Author notes
I was playing a game, and thinking about my day, when this question came into my head. I felt it necessary to write something to get my emotions on paper before I forgot them. sorry about the bad rhyme, its not even meant to rhyme, but I have been doing nothing when my life is slipping away from underneath me. I had to stop, reassess and get my life back on track. comment if you want, critisize if thats what you think but this is what i feel, and I had to express it in a way i knew how: writing, the second of my three great passions.

It is a good display of emotion. It reads as though it may have been written a little bit quickly however the purpose is clear. Perhaps you will write it again just to make it flow better. I understand that it is kind of a free form poem but maybe the lines of your stanzas could be a little bit more organized
Keep up the good work.

I use to teach a class at the community college called "What to do with the rest of your life." It was a class on goals, change and motivation. There's a book called: Do what you love and the money will follow." I say and you might be broke. We are living in an age of constant change and discontent. I really like this poem and I hope you find satisfction in your life. If you want I can email a questionaire on goals for you that I put together that may help.
