Fears run deep as I stare down the path
not knowing for sure where to go.
Do I stay following the traveled dirt road,
or step onto the grass and make one on my own?
If I wish to hold myself up on my own
I shouldn't be unsure standing here alone
and be willing to wander
instead of prolonging my story.
Today I look forward and search beyond
to try and look past the shadows ahead.
Either place I could go
would carry the future
and an answer more near to my face.
Still I'm too nervous by what lies ahead,
continuing to follow the set trail instead,
and continue feeling misplaced in the crowd...
for now.
The only way to get back into writing is to practice. So this is all this is, and I'll probably play around with it. I don't want to be told what I did wrong or anything because people always interperet things differently. If anything I should call it a work in progress but I don't work like that. For now I'm just putting it up and hoping I write something more worth posting once I get back into the swing of things.

Update: this is the original
Fears run deep as I stare down the path
unclear where to go.
Do I stay following the dirt
or step onto the grass and make one on my own?
If I wish to hold my own
then I shouldn't be so unsure standing here alone
yet I cannot take that first step eitherway.
Today I look beyond and see nothing
only shadows on the horizen,
and a matching image from the untraveled way.
Either place I go would bring the future closer
and an answer more near,
but too nervous by what may lay ahead,
I follow the trail left by those before
and continue feeling misplaced in the crowd...
for now.


and I ended up editing it before submitting it, so I thought I should include the original version since that's what I was talking about more when submitting.

I am a little more fond of the original, even though it may not sound very "poetic" or rhyming. Still it flows correctly if I just stop trying to read it any certain way... Either version has it's own way of working.
