Unknown

every step of the way
I don’t know what will happen from it.
one day, I opened a book,
and it changed the way I see the world.
it’s as if colors have become more vibrant,
objects feel more tangible,
and the world made sense.
It’s times like this
that makes it worthwhile the wait.
so, if you are having a hard time,
hang in there.
there will be a day when all will make sense.
there will be a day the grind will be worthwhile.
it’s one more day, another chance, another opportunity.
let’s seize the moment.

Scene 11

it was late at night in a quiet parking lot
near a hotel where friends cheered victories
Walking into the dark to cool my head a little
the coldness of night sobered my head
or rather soaked my head in a strange thing
I walked a tight yellow rope between
falling in a deathly cold pit of loneliness
or falling head over hills into the unknown
When I opened my eyes again
as gracious morning sun shown upon me
as piercing pain squeezed my head
I knew what I had to do.
I took the step into the unknown.
