For most of my life, I've been on a quest.
To discover just who I might be,
Earnestly searching, day after day,
So desperate to recognize me.

I've felt moments of utter fulfillment
And moments I couldn't go on,
But I knew for the sake of my heart
and my soul,To succeed, I would have
to be strong and be perseverance
in my goings.

But the people around me seemed
so discouraging at times,
That I feared I might be on my own.
But then there'd be someone,
who would reach out and help
And remind me I wasn't alone.

I've wanted so much to be happy,
But to know of the true definition
of happiness one requires peacefulness,
That's what it was to feel happy
and have peace at the same time,
And I thought if I finally felt sure
of myself,Then the pain and the struggles
would cease,Because to be oneself,
one must be always be true to one true image.

But I've learned that this journey
is endless and tedious;
The discoveries are fresh every day,
And no matter how much I might know
of myself,They'll be times
I will still lose my way.

And as I've grown older, I truly believe
I may never know all I can be.
But the answers are not waiting
out in the world But have always
laid right inside me.

We're all on this quest to
discover ourselves,together but through
our own ways,Overcoming whatever might
get in our paths, as challenges and
discouragement, so we can feel better someday.

But always remember not to stray far.
From what matters and what's really true,
In this life you don't have to be perfect,
as there's no perfection in humanity
but if you truly keep it consistent,
your story will be differ.
In the end,
you just have to be you and grow
from a different perspective
that the world will like emulating.
