This daunting city, the lights and sounds whirl by,
edging me towards the unknown
my mind races with questions of, "Why?".
One step closer to the street
I wonder where I'm taking myself
as I stare down at my nervous feet.
Could this be what I'm meant to be?
Is there something here to set me free?
I look up to the buildings surrounding, left and right,
daring me to confront the city with their glassy gaze.
Peering back to the busy pavement, red lights burn bright.
Pushing the last doubting thought from my mind,
I tighten the grip on my courage
as I leave all I've ever known and loved behind.
