At first there's reason to be wary
"Stepping out"...it can be scary.
So much of me feels left behind,
but is it really changing who I am?  

Just a thought, just one reflection,
yielding the courage to change directions.
A moment at last, to understand the soul,
guided and not cursed, by the man above.

The truth of the matter is I never changed course,
but a life that's not lived, that's a worthy remorse.
Yes, so much of me I've left behind,
for its already played part in who I am.
Having understood my own self a little better, I came to realize that living for other people's expectations, family traditions or religious standards was not a representation of who I am as a person. It's hard to seemingly change the design I was given to live my life, but the endevour is exciting and most rewarding.
