I am in the present perfect
Where I have always been,
Finally reaching
Something of my own
Which makes tomorrow
A day worth following...
As I rise with the orange glow
Of an enterprising ideal
That is too ardent
And possessive to let go...
I may be unknown and alone,
But the real one is ready
Apart from here
And has become part of the world
I am striving for...
Separating the many
Halves of me
And sorting them
Into the infinite good or bad
I am most likely to succeed...
The Cause is the ideal,
The ideal is the principle
And the tempter's key
Which unlocks or fastens
The door of immortality...

Yes, has a human beings we go through different stages of ourselves. Not realizing it, people do not reflect on their past selves to see that it has made them who they are today. So when one sits do when one has to think 'is this it or is just a phase' so one just fills empty and unwhole. Insightful I hope this what you the message you are trying to send forth. In any case this is what I percieved.
Truth of ourselves is always inside its the face we present to the world which is not always the truth, like Romeo good always wins over bad...regards
