Crossroads: A Place In My Mind

The crossroads, a deserted place in my mind
From crazy days
A musicians flare
Skill with words, but can I get my wings
Dip my toe further in the sea of knowledge
There is a current which can take me away
Fear
Forging forward beyond those small things known
Entering like an eagle skyward into higher thought
A day in the past when I felt a pain from a book on the table from another past
Realizing my power with a humble heart
This abandoned crossing in me
Doubt
Delay my progression and stifle opportunity
Own up to defeat and giving in
Unravel and fall down to my knees
Be nothing and never be challenged
To weak to break the cycle
Believe
Banishing my demons to let my light beam
Every new step is toward a better way
Lighting a light so others can see
In my darker moments I know there is not just me
Everyone doubts
Very few are without fear
Encouraged by knowing these things spur us on
These things are a part of being human
This crossroads where I see the man in the crisp suit is smiling
I walk on in me
This need to strive and go beyond is in me and in you
I walk the rough road going straight ahead as the eagle battles the wind

Strong poem, Kant34. Using strong expressions and a visual side of it impresses. Like a drawing which gives a picture of something sharp, definite and decided. Especially the single words in one lines seem to encourage something. Very well done, thanks.
