The road that twists and turns
Is looking straighter
Wider
It is like I am seeing it for the first time through the lens of a photographer.
I see potential in the road not taken
In the curves that lead to that final destination
(does that even exist?)
Call me foolish but I will walk it
Until my feet blister and bleed.Well, I am here now
Somewhere at a pit stop, breathing, waiting,
Finding comfort in the lesser understanding of why I am here, impatiently gazing at the stars;
Someday, I hope they will answer me
And sometimes I think they have trouble hearing
Or perhaps they are watching, calling me foolish too, knowing they cannot do much but judge the road I am walking.It does not matter to me anymore,
What the stars have to say about the places I've stayed,
About the long restless nights when I stayed up and prayed.
I will no longer meet with scrutiny,
I will no longer walk my path with uncertainty,
I have tried and I have lived, and that matters more to me.I fear that I cannot turn back, and even if I could it would not matter,
It is not worth going backwards for the sake of finding comfort.
Comfort in what I already know, comfort in what I have already seen
The sun is out now and it is shining, I know this is where I should be.
Moving forward, persisting, walking aimlessly toward what terrifies me;
The unknown, it awaits me somewhere in the distance,
I only keep moving because they tell me it is worth it.
