The Chase

I'm chasing something that's going to save me.

But in this chase for my salvation there are so many obstacles in my path.

And one's been on my mind a lot recently.


My self worth is not defined in what others think of me.


I fell into that trap a long time ago.

In my time lost, that's all that kept me sane.

The fact that I was liked.

I was loved.


That hasn't changed.

I'm still liked.

Still loved.

But I'm not letting that define me.

It's not something I want to keep chasing.

I don't want that to be my goal,

To get someone to like me, isn't what I'm chasing after.

I'm chasing something else.

and I don't want to get lost again.

From Wanderer to Follower

I have a purpose again.

I now have something to strive towards.

But it's a purpose with a catch.

I wandered forty days and nights lost in the dark forest they call my mind.

I was lost.

But finally there's a star showing itself in the dark sky

And I've decided to follow it to it's unknown fate.

But how did I get stuck wandering in the first place.

To put it simply, I followed my feet.

I walked with my head down.

I walked with an ungrateful heart.

I walked with one simple purpose.

I never looked up.

And once I did it was way to late.

I was left with no choice but to wander.

Now I know things are going to be okay.

Even if this destination is unknown, I'm following something that will save me.

I'm no longer a wanderer.

I'm a follower.
