All The Way To More
Lies ahead is the opportunity
To escape my calamity
Lies ahead is something great
To escape my hate
Lies ahead is a chance
To find something grand
Lies ahead is a beauty
Wondrous and lovely
Lies ahead is more
My new open door
But can I walk the distance?
Can I give it a chance?
Can I risk everything to be me?
For this once chance to be free?
Will I find my happy ending?
Will I finally stop pretending?
Or… ?
Will it all go down
Turn and switch around?
Will all my insecurity
Become my new calamity?
Will all my hate
Stop me from becoming great?
Will this one chance
Be too much distance?
I glance again at the door
Longing, like crazy, for more
Could I really do this?
But more importantly,
Could I just continue living like this?
Resolve in me hardening
Knowing I can’t let this be my fate
Taking a step to the door
Making my way
All the way to more
