This story that is Me- a poem

We often sit and question life;

To challenge is so real.

While looking back on yesterday,

And all the things we feel.

The second-guessing comes on fast—

The anger and the why.

The stumbles and the pain are strong

No matter what we try.

The search for answers that don’t come,

Yet still, we dare to look.

We pass through doors and live our days,

And study every book.

Then one day I began to see

The story of my life.

I saw the times of happiness,

And felt the days of strife.

And something made me realize—

The answers weren’t the goal,

But rather finding peace in life,

And reason to feel whole.

And so I strive now to find grace,

And let my life just be.

Embracing every day I have,

This story—that is me.
