there is only one moment of realization
where all of our hopes and dreams
seem to be overshadowed by the simple
and yet profound reality of truth.
we search,
we seek,
we desire,
we long for,
yet is not this search
and quest to know ourselves?
and is not the seeking
a step into the present
trying to find our essence?
and is not our desire
to be comfortable in our own skin?
and is not the longing
in our souls
not just the manifestation
of what we lost in our childhood.
there is no ultimate savoir
for any of us,
we cannot find someone to help
us transcend our own problems.
this is a personal quest
into the realm of eternity,
where we begin to understand
that we are only
what we are.
to try to be anything else
is an exercise in futility.
