Something Nonexistent

Searching for what was never there

By Stephen Chan WahPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

It is like a ghost

A trick of the mind

I think I see the answer

To the questions I have been trying to find

But it is an illusion

A fantasy borne from a lie

I have been searching for change around me

When it has always been inside

Desperate for incentive

A fiend for some form of motivation

And suddenly,

As if I had never been searching at all

A small moment in the grand scheme of my life

And change emerged

Like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon

Wings new to life spread effortlessly

As it is one's nature to evolve

It just seems to happen when one is not so caught up in the process
