Shaping the Crazy

Stepping into the Unknown
With a heavy heart and a bag in hand, 
 I turn away from the familiar land.  
The path ahead, a mystery vast, 
 I find the courage to leave the past.
Each step I take, a silent plea,  
To find the strength, to just be me.  
The unknown calls, a siren's song, 
 To face my fears, to prove I'm strong.
The colours swirl, the shadows play, 
 I walk alone, I find my way.
  Through uncertainty, through doubt and fear,  
I know it's time, the moment's here.
To trust myself, to take the leap, 
 To walk away, though the road is steep.  
In the embrace of the great unknown,  
I find the courage to be alone.
