The Journey
Where do I go from here?
Touch the sand~.
Smell the air?
Cannot look back
Only for a moment~
For when I do~ the fear begins to pull me
Look ahead? The road seems so exciting~
But if I run~ I am afraid I will fall
And hopelessness will catch me
It is safe right here~ I will stay
But only for a moment
I will sit~ and maybe pick a flower
