Ice.

Life will always be unpredictable, as is ice.

You must tread carefully, make wise choices, and strive forward without hesitation.

That is how I see life,

a lake of ice, the other side unknown.

With thin and thick patches, I must be careful, or I may slip and fall.

As the sounds of cracks fill the air, I must push forward and not look back, my goal ahead of me;

for whatever lies ahead will always be whatever I strive for.

That is how I see the future,

a glass-like, unpredictable world around me;

dictated by my actions and choices,

impacting all that is around, and under me.
