The name of this poem is called "Soul Searching for Direction". If you look closely behind the type you will see the philosophical figure "The Thinker". The purpose of him being behind the type is to do just what his name says which is to think. The goal in this thinking is to discern the realities and fallacies of life. One would read the poem to ponder hard on the directions they have taken. Examining ourselves to make sure that we don't make the same foolish mistakes twice. Also digging deep to find the best qualities within us. Until we look at life for what it is we can never make decisions that will change us for the better. This calls for the phrase in the poem, "only to find comfort in a fictitious past time lapse". Essentially avoiding reality makes us run in circles. I wrote this poem to remind us that we constantly need to run a diagnostic test on ourselves like we do cars. Making sure that we remove the parts that serve no benefit, find out what we truly need to run effeciently, and then repair the problems in our lives so that we live better lives. This peom was done in Adobe Illustrator.
