inner compass

exactly how i got here

i cannot say

but i began to pay attention

to my dreams

and i followed the trail of crumbs

left by the authors

whose books i read

i pushed "pause"

and asked questions

and for help

i shed many tears

and a few skins

i explored new

and ancient paths

i surrounded myself

with people who believed in me

until i could believe in myself

i found my center

and followed my bliss

and found this...

my inner compass
