Finding My Place Poem by John Burns

In a world that spins with dizzying pace,
Wandering souls seek a comforting space.
A life full of questions, a heart full of doubt,
Puzzling one's purpose—what's it all about?

Behind every smile, a hidden frown,
The weight of existence often pulling us down.
We dance on a tightrope, so fragile and thin,
Balancing dreams against life's deafening din.

Struggling and striving, we search far and wide,
For a slice of contentment, a place we can bide.
We look to the stars, or deep in a book,
For answers that elude us, no matter where we look.

Yet, somewhere between the struggle and strife,
In unexpected moments, we stumble on life.
In laughter and tears, in love's tender embrace,
We find fleeting glimpses of our rightful place.

Amidst all the chaos, the noise, and the fray,
Hints of true purpose might light up our way.
While the struggle seems endless, and hardships won't cease,
In rare quiet moments, we find our own peace.

For in this grand struggle, so taxing, so grand,
Our place is just where we happen to stand.
Though life doesn't offer a map or a guide,
In seeking, we find where our true selves reside.
