The Gate

Photo by Luke M.

Fifteen years of my life;
walking up to  the same gate,
running towards it,
With every step, I get a little older and wiser.
Soon, I will get through it all on my own.
Even with the sun shinning in my eyes
or rain running down my skin,

I will get through it on my own.

I may trip into a few ditches along the way
but, I'm following  my own road.
It might start out wide enough for everyone
but, soon, it  becomes narrower and narrower...
leaving myself room to succeed.

-Song M.
