Color by Numbers Picture of Success

Location

I go through the day,

And I don't know who I am.

I don't know who I want to be.

 

I know what is accepted,

What is expected. 

I see what I should be.

Images of what others want for me.

 

Yet, 

Still...

I don't KNOW what makes ME happy!

 

I "live"...

Simply following the motions.

The instruction manual that others have placed before me.

 

A color by numbers picture of "success".

In that picture,

There is no color called,

Passion.
