PURSUIT [by Kuna Nyan]

I wandered among the many ways

The twists and turns that took me no where

I drifted about for many days

In and out of places without a care

I searched high and low for calm and grace

For sanity and the courage to dare

I lived in a world of fear and pain

Hoping to make it without a tear in sight

I stayed in a home that left a dark stain

On my inner strength and will to fight

I slept among those who chipped away every grain

Of my hopes and dreams, my guiding light

I wandered among many pillars of stone

Trying to make sense of whirling emotion

I floated about the vacuum, an empty zone

Without an idea of what I needed, not a notion

I was pushed to walk this quest alone

In pursuit of identity and self promotion
