This Much I Know

Routes are unmapped

And the journey is long

But you’ll know where you’re going

And the places you belong

 

There’ll be choices you’ve made

That you wish to forget

And there’ll be others you retell

Just as oft as you’re let

 

Experiences will shape you

With their pattern and design

And when you join up the dots

You can rejoice and not whine

 

Long days can be followed

By nights spent awake

As you accept your own truth

And you stop being fake

 

There’s no curtain call here

In this show we call life

Stepping out of your way

Is how to live without strife

 

It’s for real, no rehearsals

It won’t always make sense

In a world full of players

Packed crowded and dense

 

But there’s this that I know

That I’ve seen on the faces

Of the people looking busy

As they rush to their places

 

There’s no fixed destination

I repeat, as it’s true

As your meaning in life

Is defined just by you
