The Great Journey

The journey has taken longer than most of mine yet,
Yet I chose a path after school never travelled,
I knew that the destination would never be in doubt,
Yet I knew the path of my fathers was not mine to take....
 
The decision to truly shut my eyes letting go,
That this decision to freefall off the ledge,
This was my decision alone to decide upon,
The path of life I chose took me where I am....
 
So much pain endured in every single way,
So much knowledge of life leaned in many ways,
Often thought of as being worthless experience,
Yet I would not trade a single moment experienced....
 
Every moment has a power unto its own,
Either good/bad, joy/pain, success/failure,
Absorbed into the very core of my being,
Defining who I am & what I will eventually be.....
 
Everything that can be done has been done up 'til now,
I am very much trapped by what I have set in motion,
There is truly no going back now from what is and will be,
All that remains is the ultimate outcome of my actions.....
