A Startling Step

Through a passage of deceit I face that which I fear greatly Terrified and curious Debating what it is that will make me In this life we must guard our steps Because that’s what leads us to our fate But nothing happens as you desire Possibly for ones own sake Prepared or not I’m on my way Life doesn’t halt for individuals The truth isn’t always spoken Yet sometimes hidden and not clearly visible I realize that I have a path Just not certain what I will encounter Though when I reach my limit I will meet that lady called destiny And hopefully I wont doubt her See my future portrait of what i am Is only what I paint it But only you can manage Off of what it is that you’ve created That single step I am required to take Is a frightening one but one I am willing to make
