Journey into the Unknown

Yesterday I decided to go,
My bags were packed, my map in hand.
I looked above, the sky was clear.
I looked beyond, could not see my destination.
Today I am leaving with my map in hand.



I will climb the highest mountains,
Sail through the strongest storms.
Fight the angry current,
For I want to get to the other side.
I will walk through the dry desert,
No heat will burn my desire.
My destiny unclear, my feet so swollen,
I will push myself to the limit,
This is my journey to travel.

Today I am taking my journey,
Leaving all I know behind.
The smiles that I have come to know,
The familiar faces that greet me.
The mountains I call my home
And the air that blows on my cheeks.
Do not worry about me,
Let me go find my own way.

It is time to start my journey,
Not knowing what's waiting
On the other side.
My soul says yes,
My heart rejoices.
For this is a time to take that chance,
To jump and fall on my own.
So what if I break a bone or two.
