If Life Were A Set Track

When I was in my twenties

I longed to have a set direction

To me a set track seemed the answer to all my worries and concerns

Just drop into it and live

No questions about what I should do

Where I should go

I don’t know if my young adult life was more tortured than others

I do know that I did experience enough angst and anxiety

I thought if I knew what to do, all would be well

I did not realize that I was just starting to learn who I was

Wandering, weaving, circling, falling, and floundering

Helped me move

Toward being me

A track is a wish that should never be granted

Life is all about a process

To live is to make one’s own tracks
