Imitation

Purpose

I have this tremendous fear of losing myself.

Of waking up and forgetting who I am and

Forgetting what I stand for

Getting swept away in the sea of

Nerves and peer pressure

I have this tremendous fear of not giving my best.

Of failing to do all that I can to make the difference

That the world may fail because I wasn’t doing my part

A fear that I would settle for

Mediocrity and the bare minimum

I have a purpose for my life

I don’t know when it will hit me

Or where I will be when it does

But I can’t wait to embrace it.
