Path Taken

The path ahead is waiting to be taken
But not many will;
Some will go for the one more beaten,
Most remain still.

Sunlight is filtered by heavy clouds,
Far we can’t see;
Some will stumble and turn around,
Others persevere.

I look back and to those I bid goodbye,
They don’t;
I look ahead and my tears I’ll dry,
But they won’t.

Once again I step up and trample,
Albeit the fear;
Dark shadows I see and tremble,
They creep near.

Just one more step and it will be dawn,
Sun will shine;
I’ll pick up myself if I fall down,
Hope will rise.
