A Journey

Shattering the dead leaves
I walked passed the place
Some called the end of world
Some called the beginning
From the 1st step that I took 
I told them they were wrong
I told me I have to be strong

Then came the day I nearly found
I thought to myself this is it
There's no turning around
This is the end and a new beginning
Can I start over or can I let it end
But I walked passed the golden door
I could see the smile on the face of my friend
The friend who promised to live with me
Forever, 
Only when I'm in dark
But I had heard that
This path led to light
A dilemma I was facing now

To judge who I shall leave
A friend, who will never leave me alone
In this dark world
Or should I leave my friend for the one 
That leave's me alone in the bright world
I can't decide anymore

It was a long walk 
I was exhausted
My brains were telling me
You need to stop 
Get yourself some sleeping
I suppose that had to happen inside 
The brain 
And I wasn’t suppose to hear it
But I was listening to my brain
Till this date for all that has gone
I just can’t find anything that’s not possible
At least for what I do and what's on my mind

There's not much that I know
But I think I felt asleep for a while
When I woke up
I knew where I was.
