A Young Man Meets the World

A young man, 19, the World waiting before him to be forever engraved by his most delicate breath.

A man unsure of his steps, ready to change the World

A man unprepared to succeed

Yet determined not to fail

He knows little of the harsh winds bound to bowl him over

He cares little of the precarious path etched ahead

At times he steps hesitantly, unsure of himself

And less often then he dare admit, he steps confidently, firm in his beliefs

Doubt grasps at his heart with every step

Stumbling with every half-hearted motion

He is not ready for what the World has to offer him

But the World will not wait.
