The Long Road Ahead

A poem of self-discovery

The Long Road Ahead

I start here with my two feet

Looking at the world in front of me

I don’t know where the road is heading

I don’t know where it leads

I must take this journey

With all of my might

I know my destination is in sight

It long be long now before I reach

The long road ahead of me

It’s a journey I need

So much of it a part of me

It’s so I can be all who I want to be

I will take this road as far it’ll go

That is what I said

I am now ready for the long road ahead.
