The Vision of a Young Boy

Amid the chaos of the world outside  
The young boy's heart beat with a restless tide  
Aspiring for greatness beyond the norm  
But his path to purpose was often forlorn  

He tried his hand at many things  
Exploring the world on wings  
From science to commerce, to tech and more  
He sought a calling unlike any before  

Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to years  
As he searched for his purpose among his peers  
But the light he chased remained just out of sight  
All he saw was a tunnel, deep and infinite  

At twenty-five he stopped to reflect  
And take stock of his past, with introspect  
He saw the muddled mess of his prior ventures  
And started to ponder and rearrange his textures  

He knew not what lay ahead  
But he knew what lay behind instead  
And so he made a conscious choice  
To live with intent and a clear sense of voice  

One step at a time, he began to walk  
Towards the shadows and the light they begot  
Mistakes were made and lessons were learned  
And slowly but surely, the embers burned  

Fuelled by his newfound intent  
The light that once escaped him started to relent  
And out of the abyss, a vision took shape  
That of a man who could bend fate  

Through the veil of uncertainty  
The boy saw his purpose finally  
And with that vision in his eyes  
He tackled obstacles and soared through the skies  

At thirty years, he'd come so far  
To find his calling, his North Star  
With every stride and every leap  
His impact on the world began to seep  

Now, he looks to the skies with hope  
Wielding his vision as an unbreakable rope  
For this boy, once lost, is now found  
His purpose concrete, his destiny sound  

And though his journey still has miles to go  
He strides with determination, full of glow  
For he's seen the world through a different lens  
And knows his vision will take him to the ends.
