Limbs sore
My spine tested
I climbed mt Everest
Yet I never rests

From the darkness,
into the light
My Shadow leaves me
Who's by my side?
Am I strong enough
To stand alone?
smart enough
to know when I need help?
brave enough
to ask?

As a man of the past,
living in the present,
walking into the future,
curiosity drives me
Am curiously curious.
Who understands my past,
accepts my today,
and believe in my future?
Is everything a test?

Should I,
trust before I love,
know before I judge,
commit before I promise
appreciate before I regret?

The past haunts
the future haunts
the decisions,
the choices made,
sets the course of our lives .
Actions,
driven by the whispers of angels and demons.
Yet, there's
So much gain
so much pain
We persevere
