Compass by Cassandra Robles

@poeticinez

I search for answers

     Memorizing every map I see

Digging deeper than those around me

For a truth

       I may never find...

What is our purpose?

       is it love?!

If so.... who defines love?

     And why do we go along with it?

I am curious

Luckily I'm no cat

But even then...

      I am curious

What happens after death?

Will my faith be strong enough for me to rest with my creator?

Is the "truth" that is taught to me a gimmick to correct my behavior?

I am lost you see

       Or perhaps

                I am not

Look at me

You can see the constellations in my eyes

And hear direction in my voice

But you know we listen to everyone but ourselves

Maybe the answers I seek

      Have always resided in me

Maybe that's why people leave after I give them all of my knowledge

I am full of answers

      Or

          Maybe

                I am the answer

So me searching for an answer is really self discovery

     Oh

         What an epiphany!

You see

The waves crash on the shore

For the same reason you want you dive into my ocean

      It is nature

The stars shine every night

 For the same reason my exes left me broken

     In order to shine

              Something must die

The maps I've memorized

Are lessons I've learned

Allow me to teach you all that I know

     Or

        Better yet

             Make memories of your own...

You are your map

              Your compass

                      Only you can guide you home
