Give me a Reason

I need a reason
To be ready for the day
Other than a paycheck…

I need some headway
to figure out
What I’m out to do

I need the fire
The passion to burn
The passion to move…
     The passion to feel…
         The passion to do…

Give me a reason
to really want to move on
to stay in motion

I feel so lost
like a boat
w/o a compass in the ocean

Help me find it
the light inside me
to make me happy
  to make me happy
    to make me happy…

I see the others
Who have found their
 niche to claim

I’m happy for them
but I seem to
Not feel the same

I need to find it
That very something
The thing to want…
    the thing to need…
       the thing to cling to…

Am I just drifting
Hope to be
not cast aside?

I tire of searching
through the world
far and wide

My world’s a bubble
I need a place
Somewhere to breathe
   somewhere to stretch
     somewhere to think…

I have a tune in my head that may work with this…perhaps I should try it out on  paper or something…hmmm
