Trudging along cautiously

I wander upon an uncertain path

As it meanders into the darkness;

Eerie shadows look on.

And I, not knowing any better,

Trudge along cautiously.

Where the path leads to

I do not know.

Yet

I dare not look back.

- Don't need to hear

"I told you so!"

"How much further

Until I see some light",

I dare not ask.

For it seems to strengthen

The shapeless creatures of the night.

So

I trudge along cautiously

Summing all my courage and my strength

I am closer to where I want to be

And

Further from where I started

I have come too far to relent!
