peering into my soul

pilisydo

 

I feel so bare, so lost in time,

A fleeting echo, a hollow chime.

If all I do is tick and turn,

What meaning lies in what I learn?

 

I crave to live, not just survive,

To spark, to burn, to be alive.

Not just a shadow left unknown,

But light that lingers, brightly shown.

 

For what is life if not to be

A whisper carved in memory?

Not just a name that fades astray,

But something time can’t wash away.

    Most of us strive for recognition and to leave a mark. This poem echoes this nicely. Nicely written

    The feeling of just existing and not living, looking for recognition and a purpose in life, nicely expressed and written
