yourself

No one else
can choose your path

nor walk it
in your place

They may stand beside,
or walk behind,

but the journey's
yours to face

No one else
can lead you

There are those
who point the way,

but no one can say
how far to go,

or where to
stop or stay

Hand-me-downs
can cover you,

but sometimes
do not fit

When force-fed meat
has gotten old,

don't be afraid
to spit

The center
of your being

is the place
where you
should start

Listen to
the guidance
given to
your heart

Take free flight,
you, who seeks

Ride each and every
wind that speaks
