Labyrinth Poem by Amgad Samy

My aimless heart was on a vacation
Thinking I would find my vocation
In comfort zone I followed the signs
In my own world of no whines
Labyrinth of thoughts kept coming
Whenever my mind started ruminating
In ripples of wild ideas and depth of despair
I wound up getting nowhere
My inner peace became muddled
Delightful dreams seemed to be most coveted
Like a laurel wreath that adorned a Roman hero
Sought after a victory without yielding to my ego
Searching for purpose I was left unmoored
Implicitly trusted myself I was lured
Unbridled enthusiasm drifted me out
To the savage ocean of anxiety and doubt
I felt a profound sense of emptiness
Deep inside me I was eager to witness
The day my heart was miraculously revived
On uncertainty and challenges of life I thrived
