I walk forward,
not knowing the full path,
but trusting the winds
that have carried
me this far.
My heart is my compass.
My courage is my wings.
The storms behind me
do not define me.
The voices around me
do not confine me.
I was not made to follow.
I was not made to hide.
I was made to travel
to build bridges where
others see walls,
to find stars where
others see night.
May my steps be light,
my spirit fierce, and
my kindness endless.
I walk forward,
because forward is where
the horizon opens,
and where my next sunrise
waits for me.
