ahead

out here
out here where no one else goes
where no one else treads
and where no one else lives
i am here
i am he
i am what they were
and i am alone
and here i am
frightened
lost
and confused
but the way is becoming clearer
the road is becoming wider
and there is a light ahead
and towards that light
i travel
looking neither right
nor left
nor over my shoulder
just straight ahead
towards destiny
and my reward
