Until you can walk alone on your own
You cannot with someone else
You will only be carried in one direction
The one they choose
For the breezes that blow
May not fill your sails
And though the wind makes a sound
It is the quiet of uncertainty that you hear

But as I watch you suffer from loneliness
I ask to walk with someone who knows me well
Because they will understand how it must be
The way I am
How my tears no longer hide behind manhood
For the water before me must be my own
And I cannot begin my journey
Unless the path has been laid upon my emotions

Walking with someone else’s dreams
Or is it our own?
How can we know what is right or wrong?
But you can be never wrong
If courage becomes your bow
And your heart becomes your sail
Because it is who you are
And the wind is now at your back
