I take my first step
Not knowing what will become of it
Deciding between needs and wants
As life takes its place.
This path less traveled cannot be foreseen.
While others choose a simpler path.
Yet the familiarity leads them to scream.
No timeline in sight but it beats behind my neck.
The uncertainty of it all on the journey gives me a feeling of regret.
It almost stings like spices in my mouth. Ginger falls out.
Life changes with an unexpected turns.
Sometimes it’s hard to see how change can be good.
So i take my first step on this path into the unknown.
Knowing in the end it will lead me to who I will become.
