rain finally stopped
slightly overcast
bit of a breeze
not freezing
warmer than yesterday

discovering
a new way
around the block

dressing
in colors
instead of
black and white

humming
a tune
that’s stuck
in your head

looking
at life
sideways

i can no longer
hold you back
keep you
from crossing the line

discussions
pointless
when you decide
to be bullheaded
showing your
selfish side

really
not admirable

it sickens
those
vigilant
to the cause
for they
fear for you

the path
might look treacherous
heed where
you step

the hazards
may make
one stumble
or fall

bruises
may be many

not the end
not at all

this lengthy trek
takes concentration
time and endurance

this seemingly endless journey
takes focus
work and
