Irrational Belief

Your thoughts were not my thoughts

Yet because I was afraid

I shared your view.

Your ways were not my ways

Yet because I wanted to be part

I went and followed you.

Your words were not my words

Yet because I wanted to be liked

I adopted your style.

Your opinion was not my opinion

Yet because I did not trust myself

I went along with you.

Too willing to construct my own defeat.

Too unsure to listen to my own voice.

Yet it always seemed so worthy,

For a good reason,

For a good cause.

And even fellow souls kept me company.

And as we walked we never knew,

That for the best part we had lost our way.

We had lost our day.

Until we saw the light,

Learnt the truth,

Walked a new path

And saw the summit in out sight.
