almost forgotten
all that
that once consumed
hindsight;
was a battle with myself.

desperate to win
and claim
a prize
that was never mine

now faded
as memories do
lovers come and gone
the framework for life
over and over again

continuous search
for purpose
to identify
with the self
with the soul

to dream and hope
to win and lose
to have courage
yet stay humble

grasping for wisdom
sometimes in vain
but always
trying again

life

the journey continues
