Our Potential

Trying to find inspiration
In the simplest of things
To ascertain some meaning 
To my existence
Am I destined for a life of mediocrity?
Or a life of diplomacy?
Only time will tell
One's life is unscripted & undetermined
Until we decide to take initiative
To hold our breath & dive right in
We'll never know our true potential
Or where our value lies.
