On This Path

Who am I beneath this hollow shell?
What is there inside me?
Where am I going to on this path?
Will I ever get there?

Where the wind blows I will never know
But as the sun shines I will learn
Nothing is as easy as it seems
Somehow I will discover my own

As I travel this lonely road I am reminded
That while I do not know it now
Something good is coming my way
I need not fear the inevitable

Who will I become when I cross that line?
Everything seems strange in my head
Seeing the person on the outside hurts
Is there even someone on the inside?

On this long and thoughtful journey my mind reels
When the darkness comes shadows creep
They tell me that I cannot make it
The shadows say I will fail

When this transformation is over I will cheer
I pray I will defeat the shadows
Whoever I become must be better
It can’t get worse than fearing my life

On this path of realization the rain falls and I cannot see
But at the end I know there are greener pastures and bluer skies
