The Unknown
The world, once a seemingly small place, expands and grows with you.
Bigger, more vast, scarier.
How is one to find their place?
Searching for motivation--forward momentum, I crumble.
I sink into the abyss that is my life.
Smaller, more secluded, scarier.
I scream, but no one hears me.
This is what it feels like to be one mere person.
A dot in the universe.
Smaller.
Ah, I rebut.
I refuse to go unnoticed.
I refuse to live a life afraid of chance.
I refuse to not make my mark in the world.
I run, head first, towards the bigger, most vast and scarier.
I welcome myself to the unknown.
I look fear in the eyes.
I search;
For my place, my purpose, my mark.
