Mystery

Illustration by Andrew McNamara

I am a circle until I break
Until the fragmentary light tears through me
With a plea to be boundless
I am my own mystery

To wander through mistakes
Through everything I don’t know I am meant to be
With enough valour to stand
I am my own mystery

My heaving breaths correlate
Breaths that fight against unknown dreams
With one whisper I search
I am my own mystery

I should travel again
Travel somewhere far enough to reach the deep
With my heart’s confines left to grasp
I am my own mystery

Until I search I will never know
The secrets of my destiny
With no clues but those of life
I am my own mystery
