The Man I Am

It\'s 4 AM

Who am I kidding?

So much for

A restful night sleeping

 

The wheels go round and round

Inside my mind

Aimless thoughts

On the race track of time

 

Where I’m going

And where I’ve been

The future and past

Shadows of when

 

As seconds tick by

I contemplate my being

And who belongs to

The thoughts I’m keeping

 

Upon the scale of life

Weighing the years

Under the microscope

A wide range of fears

 

Why is it

I’m never satisfied

Mediocre results

No matter how hard I tried

 

Is this the existence?

I was meant to live

Is there not more?

More of me to give

 

Somewhere the conveyor of life

Will deliver me to

My final resting place

My destination so true

 

And when I get there

Maybe then I’ll understand

Why I’m studying

The man I am
