Tell Me Where You Are

If only everything could be written out,
written out as a set of directions
for us to follow on our way through this thing they call life.
So many times do we find ourselves looking for something,
something to fill our already full cup of blessings..
so why aren't we ever satisfied?
A rich man is always seeking the next big expensive thing
that will "boost his status"
Someone who's born with a rare talent is always looking for
something else he can be good at.
A person with straight hair, longs to have curly hair..and vice versa.
Someone who's single is always searching for "Mr./Mrs. Right",
yet the ones who've claimed to have found them still complain about
his/her imperfections.
These quests that we set ourselves on only take up valuable time in this short life.
If only our human minds had the power to be satisfied..maybe the world's lust for power
could be lessened and transformed into an over-indulgence of peace.

But maybe these quests for something greater describe our individuality.
What we yearn defines our character...
So maybe its not the searches that have taken over our already complex lives.
Its how we search.
The only determinent of our success is ourselves..at the end of the day
when your drifting off to sleep, are you proud of what you've accomplished?
there's no doubt that there will always be something that gives you a sense of discontent
because we were made to have imperfections.
But the goal shouldn't be to have everything laid out for you on a silver pladder.
We may wish for something to guide us, like a map persay, but the map shouldn' t be used for every aspect of your life.
those times when you want to give up because you can't take it anymore, take a look at the map.
the times when everything seems wrong and out of place, take a look at the map.
But ultimately, we have to be the tour guide in our lives.
our decisions define us. lead us to carry out our destinies, for lack of a better word.
Our stories have already been written, and its our job to stay on course.
no one said a little cheating hurt anyone. so for my sake, i think its time i take a look at my map..





"Tell me where you are
And I'll find you
Tell me what it takes to see this through
Tell me what it takes to get to you
And I'll be there waiting"
