it feels unending
shadows of uncertainty
loom on a deceptively
straight and narrow path
I must reach the gate
at the other end
it spells hope
-but I do not know
what horrors lie ahead
Yet, I will get there
if only to know
if my journey has been
fruitful or futile

We keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter the outcome. Nicely done, Reena!
