Pursuit of Self

In Ancient Greece the playwright, philosopher and theologist said it best.

Knowledge is suffering ang he choose to learn will be put to test.

Aechylus had wisdom that will outlast time,

For indeed, I am branched on finding where I am rooted.

I left home 6 years ago, or did I really?

Perhaps the area where my seed was sowed was a poor environment,

Now in new soil with a new look, my branches have just come out.

My roots are deep in the soil soaking the nutrition they never got.

I am carried forward by stimulating conversation.

I am very opinionated, yet never shy to hear others' views.

My branches grow from bonding with others,

Hearing their stories, their roots, traumas, and reaching for strength.

Vocal.Media which I heard from a fellow gamer has given me a platform.

I see, read, critique and share stories of faith lost, faith renewed,

Scars on canvas, laughter embraced and ultimately friends I make on the way.

All beings have roots and branches, sometimes they just need to reach for the light.
