Purposeful Living

Found watching outside the gate,
spectator instead of participant,
standing in the footsteps of a famous person

rather than creating a path of his own.
Proximity should never be enough
find the purpose in your life and express it.

Let your misdeeds and greatness
be your own. Stop living vicariously
through the significance of others.

Step out, step strong, step certain
your path will reveal itself
with fame and infamy of its own.
