Purpose by Ikwan Favour (Must Read)

Dear MPN Fam,enjoy this beautiful poem titled "Purpose "by Ikwan Favour

Sometimes we feel empty

We search deep down for the purpose of living

We search for the sane to fill our entity

Waiting for the burning in our hearts

To light the candle flames in our minds

Deeper we search

Searching for our moment of happiness

When the lines of our lips will turn to a curve

And the sparkle in our eyes will be at it's peak

When night fall will seem like the beginning of dawn

And the coming of tomorrow will be a joy

We are like those unopened letters never read

Contents never known and wondering what it carries

Sometimes, we find it

Yet, we never pursue it

For fear of what their ears will "say"

For fear their eyes will rip our souls

For fear their tongues will scar our dreams

Not knowing we scar our dreams by believing in their tongues

We live their lives by believing their eyes

We ache to fill the hole to make us whole

But hide in darkness

Come out from that corner!

Peep through the holes and see the light!

There is light in you

Become that candle in awe of its flame

That burns and burns

Till it Passes the light to another

Then your flame will never go dim

Only then will you find purpose

You can either choose to be the dreamer who never takes a step or

The dreamer who takes a step and falls or

The dreamer who takes a step and falls but picks himself up
