The Unknown

I have walked a long way once I never thought to see myself at the end Becoming a past with no more the chance With only a future ahead without a plan I took a step back because I fear Remembering times without memories Were it too much I am to dear? Yet a perfect concoction of disharmonies And I return my footing to the present Looking back at the hardest to leave behind I stood aground remembering reasons Does it matter? From possession I can no longer find To only venture onward, I dare a step forward Facing all that life has taught me... the unknown To have lived, I do not want to take a step backward Because the future is the way towards my final home And here I stand my ground Past, present and future... planned and unplanned As once more I begin whichever path found Might I think to see myself at its end?
