THE QUEST

THE QUEST
All of my life, I've been on a quest
to discover just who it is I might be,
earnestly searching, day after day,
so desperate to recognize the true me.

I've felt moments of utter fulfillment
and then moments I couldn't go on,
knowing to save my heart and my soul,
I'd have to endure I'd have to be strong.

 Others around me seemed lost too
 I'd often fear I might be on my own,
then someone would me some help
and remind me I wasn't all alone.

I've wanted so much to be happy,
to know what it was to feel peace,      if I could only finally feel sure of myself,
the pain and struggles would cease.

I've learned that this journey's endless;
the discoveries are fresh every day,    no matter how much I know of myself,
they'll be times I'll still lose my way.

And as I've grown older, I truly believe
I may never know all that I can be,
the answers aren't out in the world
they've always laid right inside of me.

We're all on a quest to discover ourselves,
together yet through our own ways,
overcome what might get in our paths,
so we can feel better someday.

But always remember not too stray far
from what matters and what's true,
in this life you don't have to be perfect
in the end, you've got to be true to you.
