my life.

i know not now
what treasures are hidden
in the folds of life.
what monsters and creatures
wait for me
that will cause me strife.
the lamp of knowledge brought me so far,
bravery must now take ahead.
for i can't take the trodden path
that others before have do.
i must make my own road
for others to follow to.
but let not confidence muddle my head,
my mind must be careful and alert
before a step is tread.
for the air is filled
with the screams and shouts
of the bashful souls,
that ran ahead with all their might
without judgement guiding their toes.
but i will err,
that i know.
and i will learn from these.
but i want to make them of my own;
my own decisions that fail.
for it's my life and what to do
of it is my choice to make.
