Misguided

I have journeyed far and wide

Living a life of foolish pride

Never knowing that

Happiness comes from deep inside 

I followed one dream

And then another

Thinking that happiness

Came from somewhere other

Realization comes not from the sage

Wisdom usually just comes from age

No one else can truly guide my way

It is I who must see the light of day

Now that I have finally grown

Now that the secret is known

It doesn’t mean that I’ll get all things right

But rather I think it means a continual fight
