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.
