How To Find the Right Path

This is a poem I wrote about my struggle to find my destiny, if it's even out there.

Will I Find My Future?

In my hands I have a map.

And that map may contain my future.

But what if it doesn’t contain the future I wish for?

The future I desire?

What if the map is blank

And cannot lead me to my destination?

Then I guess the map is broken.

Then I guess the map does not contain my future.

But what if my future is blank?

Blank in a sense that I can determine my own path.

Blank in a sense that I cannot see my future.

Or blank in a sense that my future is empty.

What if I let go of that map

And let the wind carry it away?

Will I still follow the map’s path

Or will everything change?

The map is no longer in my hands,

But X still marks the spot.

To this day I wander aimlessly,

Not knowing where or when to finally stop.
