Grab life by the horns
if you want to succeed
this is the advice
I am supposed to heed

but that insinuates
I have a direction
or some deeply rooted
emotional connection

but alas I have neither
and am feeling quite stagnant
when thinking of the future
my thoughts always run rampant

I feel stuck where I am
but not sure where to go
not sure what to pursue
to help my life grow

I also miss having 
someone close to me
with whom I can share
my sorrows and glees

I want this connection
I want a companion
I want no longer to be
an emotional bastion

but I'm weary of jumping
into something too quickly
and have my need for a partner
soonafter be sickly

Because it wasn't the person
that I truly desired
just the idea of a person
with whom I could conspire

Alas maybe someday
these things will come
and until then I'll feel
like an emotional bum

but hopefully soon
my life'll get on track
and set forth on a journey
and never look back
