Peers apart
Mocked by many,

Each one holds inside
Whether fiery hot
Or
Icy cold snow
We must learn to temperate
For in this self discovery
Our true character will show...

Dispersed over space and time
For a one single goal of
Creating the best of mine
Killing us day by day
Like a maggot creeping through the vein....

Ahead
Lies a journey,
One meant for unwavering determination
She is ready;
She is not afraid 
For the path is already made
Ready to discover more of herself
Walking confidently in her purpose
With strength in each step...

I know who I am-
In the quest for discovering my purpose
I stumbled upon constant changing tides
Realizing
I am not-
My mistakes
The things that brought me pain
I am-
My lessons learnt
The heart of a wildflower
I know who I am

I am light...

I caught the disease before the deadline
	before my mid-life crisis
the reinvention
Who can wait for the epiphany of self-discovery?
I’ll force myself to find my passion, and I’ll be great at it,
	the best
and it will be entirely willpower
Maybe
Ask me tomorrow...

Repetition is the father of learning,
an endless corridor of
narrow stairs;
anger blossoms self-discovery.
Tickling ivories and black keys,
tickles the soul into musical 
paramount--
retrograded toward amnesia,
feels no more;
striking chords on a harp
in an angelic paradise....

The wonder of life
that each obstacle becomes a lesson
Wether overt or covert 
by  increased exertion of all powers at hand
something will speak a solution
A problem stopped
in a manner that appears to be perfect
and out of this illusion is created
a new diversion for self- discovery

I have found my happiness
In a calm and quite place
Deep in contemplation
Away from the rat race

Meaningful meditation
Upon my very foundation
Removing my frustration
Leading to my salvation

Now no place I’d rather be
Since I found my serenity
Now I ride upon its sea
Like the dolphin glad and free...

concentrated
        richness
           of
              sound
to
educate
    the
      ear
to
sustained
    attention
of
strands
  of counterpoint

self-discovery
by
    a sense
           of
              experence
to
arouse
   the body
& mind
in
a collective
                  engagement...

Life! Oh life!
a walk beyond
the eyes of map
a pathless trap.

Life, Oh life!
boundless freedom—
to choose a path
a terrain, a weed ridden.

Life, oh life!
what a great way
to learn of different ways
road to self discovery.

The fact is
we all have to
make choices 
good or bad, but simply a choice....

I set out on a journey 
To explore the depths of me
To know who I am,
And what I'm supposed to do.
As I made my way through the valleys,
climbed the tallest summits,
I battled my personal demons,
I overcame my own fears as well.
I found strength in my courage 
And courage in my heart.
I discovered a new me.

Life is much more than a pretentious ambition
A sense of entitlement or finding one’s position.
Life is discovering your individual, innate talent,
Unique self-qualities, on which you hold a patent
Your raison d’etre, answering “Why am I here?”
You will find it in the things you hold most dear.

Faded maps,
Empty promises,
A king's cruel decree.

Shadows lengthen,
On shattered temples, dust
Chanting, a false saviour.

Twisted truths,
A poisoned well,
Power's hungry grip.

Ancient stones whisper,
Secrets buried, buried deep,
We must find our light.

A single spark,
Igniting the heart,
Shattering the chains....

Trails 
Not meant
To disrupt your peace
But to strengthen
Your mentality 
To be calm and focus
Amidst chaos or obstacle. 


Trails helps
Sharpens you
Self discovery
Self composure
Life understanding
Endowed you.


Know yourself
Know your worth
Know what you want
Do everything you can
Even when you face trails.
