Threads of Longing

A silent roar stirs deep within my chest,
A monstrous voice that wakes me through the night.
Will I ever find what I’ve hidden so well?
Secrets lie buried, though I ache to bring them to light.

All I seek is the true meaning of this journey,
To glimpse the life I missed by joining late.
I search for courage to keep learning,
To uncover every bit of possibility that waits.

We are not meant to be the people we once dreamed;
Destiny will always turn us down other roads.
Every path I choose pulls me farther from the truth,
And I’ve reached a place where I’m no longer in control.

All I ask now is a glimpse of what lies ahead,
The dreams I once longed for, almost within reach.
Yet even as I draw near, they seem to drift farther,
Each step forward feels harder than the last.
And still, my passion endures; steady, undeterred
For one day, I know I’ll reach that distant shore.
