My Future

Happiness wells up inside of me,

Relief: the beacon of my soul.

I’ve made up my mind,

The future is set,

No longer on the past I will mull.

My future spreads out

Like a leaflet on a book

And paves a way for my feet.

I will not stumble, I will not break,

I no longer will hesitate

I know now what I must then do

I know now what I will come to say

It may be a shock, it may be paralyzing,

It may be the healing balm for my soul

But it no longer matters

What the consequences will be

It no longer matters the toll

I am the master of my own fate,

The keeper of my soul.

My future spreads out before me now,

A path has been laid for my feet.

I see what lies ahead of me across the horizon,

The clouds have been rolled away.
