A Fearless Okay

An empty room filled 
with silence, 
I want to remain, 
I want to dream more. 
The wind pushes 
the window wide 
open filling the room,
no longer empty; 
yet, nobody’s there,
 
dark, cold, empty,
middle of nowhere on top 
of a hill. I can't fly 
like the flower petals over 
there. I step outside, 
and lay on grass under
a sky filled with stars. 
Maybe I can't 
reach the sky, but 
I want to stretch 
my hand out 
and still try. 
 
The stars remain eternal. 
As I walk north,
I continuously walk
among this darkness.

My happy memories haunt
me and question my
choices. I too wonder
what will become 
of me, yet

I still want to struggle,
not knowing 
which path to take, 
I now consider this
my fate,
times of sink or swim,
life surrounded
by hardships, but 
I cannot give up,
this is my fight.

Maybe I can never fly
to the sky of stars far
out of my reach, but
I still want to try.
Its only night,
the morning always 
comes,

a long journey awaits me.
