Will You Be There? Poem by Lesa MRK

Lately I have been forced to recall visions of the past
I try to shut them out, but they return
I am forced to think of my actions
And how each shall concern

I know I've taken big steps
To lead me to success
Now I am taking another path
I pray will not bring less

It tore me apart
To let go of the home I knew
To embrace this new world
I walk blindly into

It made me cry
To leave the friends I need
To open my heart to strangers
Whose worth I cannot read

Back there I established an identity
I became all I want to be
Will this new place steal my dreams,
Destroy the revitalized me?

I cannot let go of all I've accomplished
To wander the unknown
Because back there I had found what I had searched for-
Alone and on my own

Should I stumble blindly
Into this dark new place;
Hopefully I will not be alone
If there is a familiar face...
