Fog

I will be poised

I will not back down

As this mist builds

Surrounding me

I will be calm

And allow this fog

To gather around me

A wall, a border

I will push them away

March forward

Not seeing their fear or their hate

My conviction grasped in my hand

Each step built on my certainty

For they do not see

And this fog will guard me

Their blindness will trap them

Ignorance is not self assurance

just another version of being lost

I will walk forward

With my destiny unknown

Head up, and hands at my side

Will not cower at the mystery

But take on the opportunities awaiting me.
