taking responsibility knowing these choices were mine alone I dare to look forward to stand on my own I will find a way through this forest, this fog I will not hold expectations I will not presume I hope for good tidings for joy to continue to bloom in my heart I have everything in my lungs, more room with my hands I hold tightly this life I was not owed the reasons for existing will always be unknown a purpose for persisting an exercise for me to own I dare to look forward embracing the unknown the end may be near but the path not fully sown seeds left to plant room left to grow reaching for the sky what is possible to become is mine to own
