Three years ago I was lost.
I was on a path that
had betrayed me.
The star I followed
grew dimmer in my eyes.

Three years ago I stood
on a road, facing two
paths ahead of me.
And while many would
see them as leading
to the same direction,
I knew the difference
all too well.

Three years ago I
made a choice.
One road was too familiar,
the easy one to take.
The other – new, unmapped.
A challenge. And I took it.

I travel it
not looking back.
It brought me here.
Still walking.
