The destination confuses me My desire to conquer it, even more When did I decide to leave Every comfort that I had ever known? Why did I want to break the walls? Walls that kept me in desperate bliss What drove me to this insanity That now I cannot turn from The journey is almost at its end While I just want the road to bend I did reach the heavens desired But lost my footing on the ground Moments, now I cherish For they may be the last innocence Memories crumble at my feet My vanity well punished I mourn everything that I had ever known Yet you cannot turn pages torn My life until this fleeting moment Runs down my dying eyes
The poem reflects on the agony faced in leaving behind the comfort of familiarity to conquer new heights.
