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.
