A Man Apart

Here I sit,

A man apart,

but from what I know not,

I seek a path that is not open to me,

but seems open to many others,

The others are walking down there paths with great ease it seems,

But me I look for mine.



So how am I,

A man apart?

How indeed I ask myself.



Perhaps it is due to the fact that my soul seeks a path,

Perhaps it is due to the fact that my heart seeks another,

Perhaps it is due to......nothing.



But this path I seek I hope it is worth the pain

I have seen and continue to see.

So with a firm religion to guide me in this ever changing world I will continue to seek the path that is right for me.

What is on this path I know not, but I know one thing that is true.



I am loved.

By my mothers and fathers,

the Spirits and other Celestial beings whom reside above.

To them I have pledged my life,

my soul,

and my heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poems is more of a rambling than anything.  I just typed what came to my mind and this is what came out so bare with it.
