I'm afraid to take a step. I didn't think I could walk this far. The road was so clear before. It had its wear and tear. I walked through the thorns. A smile on my face. Tears springing in my eyes. I've tripped. I've stumbled. I've fallen. I've gotten back up. I have to continue walking. But I don't know where I'm going. The road is covered by a fog. I'm too scared to move forward. I can't see the road. I'm afraid that I will arrive at the end. What lays at the end of the road? Will it be what I've always wanted? Or everything I've always feared? Am I walking the path of enlightenment? Or am I stumbling down the road of self fulfilling prophecies? I can't see the road. I want someone to hold my hand as I walk. But I am a lone traveler, on a road I can't see.

I Can't See the Road
