From the far corners of my mind
I tried
In vain
To explain the intricacies of life
I looked back and wondered if my struggle was worth it
And asked myself why all this journey
I had no answer
I looked into the future and couldn’t see anything
fulfilling
And finally
I looked at today
Only to discover my anxiety
My soul hasn’t rested yet…
Homage to Graduation Day
