Soul

I am a result and a product.

I wonder if it was destiny or an accident.

I was told, “You can be anything,”

But heard, “You have to be everything.”

I am on a journey toward failure.

I want to avoid the heartbreak.

I am destiny and free will.

I pretend to handle it all.

I feel my dreams are better than my reality.

I touch the first of many successes as they are wrenched away.

I worry reality will never be better than my dreams.

I cry that it will get worse before it gets better.

I am a result and a product.

I understand I can’t be everything.

I say, “I’ll do what I can.”

I dream of hopeless passions never to be acknowledged.

I try to understand why I am how I am.

I hope to learn from past mistakes.

I am a result and a product.
