Is This It? Poem by Alice Shaw

What is the point of all this?
Wandering the streets,
Wondering, what comes next?

Is this the finality of it,
Or is there more to come,
More things coming my way
That I am still unaware of?

Is this what I signed up for,
What my life-long dream leads up to?

Did I chose the right path,
Or is all this waiting
To be done in vain?

So many questions,
Rushing through my mind
As I wander the streets alone
Wondering,
What comes next?

All I need is an outstretched hand
To take me through this
Get me out of the dark
And show me the light at the end of the path.

Hard as I try,
the empty streets always lead there
Back to the place I started
Wondering what comes next?
