Sonnet 6

Created for a purpose I was told.
But what that purpose was they never said.
They taught me I should look for it like gold.
But believed the search would last ‘til I was dead.
Confused and lost, I lived in self defeat.
But then you slowly fanned it into flame,
that deep within my heart created heat.
To live by my desires wasn’t shame.
To crucify my passions–that is wrong!
For they are what that makes me come alive;
they give me hope to live and make me strong;
it’s part of who I am. I feel alive!
You gave them for a purpose, now I know.
That you’re my greatest treasure I can show.
