Ready.
           Set.
Are you sure you wanna go?
I've been down this road once or twice before
And this is usually the point where people walk away.
The detour is over there with some lavish getaway at the very end
If you prefer the easy way.
This road gets bumpy from here on out
With fear and doubt as faulty stepping stones
And one false step will steer our hearts
Alone.
I won't lie, this path will be hard to get through
simply, comfortably, in one piece.
But with peaceful strides and open eyes
This walk can become one in which we never need
Undo.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't want it any other way.
For you to stay and traverse this treacherous trail
Without delay for the common concerns
that made all the others disperse
Away.
So let me ask you again-
Are you ready to set forth and go?
