Old

I accept that.

Yet, I can see

a new road lit up for me.

******

Love

I deserve it.

from people who love

and believe in me.

******

Fear

I have much

Yet I stand against

Other's fear it belongs to them.

******

Alone

Yes, the magic

of solitude

as one consults the ancestors.

******

Hallway

an illuminated path

to a journey

that is just beginning.

******

No one

Stops me

or tells me no.

because I and others.

******

Believe,

that at the end

of the Hallway

Is our new beginning.
