Thirst

	I wander aimlessly in a decaying barren land 
	With rumors of unfathomable riches buried beneath the sand
	My feet quickly grow tired, my thirst unquenchable
	The heat from the unforgiving sun, life-threatening, deplorable
	My desperate nature for success quickly becomes unbearable
	I've always seem to thirst for adventure to feel anything but myself
	I'm “comfortably” alone in this world, far too vulnerable to ask for help
               Always uncomfortable in my own skin 
               I have always been scared of what truly lies within
	The dream of success is to live comfortably
	 With enough riches to hide from my insecurities 
	Treasure continues to allude me on my tired blistered feet
	Thirst motivates each foot to keep striding away from death and defeat
	To survive so long in a barren world, my body, thus far I will keep
	I close my eyes from the grit longing to break away from desolation
Ethereal fields of green, children giggling, playing beside its life giving stream!
	My heart unconsciously smiles of a forgotten innocence that still lies within?
	I slowly open my eyes for surely it must be a dream!
	The dust swirls again unmercifully, but I see what seems to be a caravan of desert people
	Do my eyes deceive me?
I collapse under the weight of my failures, all-encompassing darkness, my body fails me
	     I awake to see the curious dark-eyes of children giggling 
	    Touching my hair and my skin as if I was a rarity!
	  I know not their language, we speak with our hands, smiles and emotions
	  They express interest in me as if I had value as a human being!
	  I take a deep breath of gratitude, I am still alive, I thirst to make amends
	 As I lay awake to watch the deserts falling stars
	I wonder if I ever will find the success I have been searching so desperately--
	Life is beginning to feel as if it were a strange dream 
	Where our answers to our life-questions are never what they seem
	Never necessarily the answers we so desperately want them to be
