Inspired by the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Dare I?
Dare I ask why my head is throbbing?
Dare I ask if my legs are supposed to feel unstable?
Dare I take one more step and be the farthest away from home I've ever wanted to
be?
I never went searching for an adventure,
I guess it was just searching for me.
Because if it wasn't,
Why am I standing here?
Here, in this very spot with my best friend two feet ahead of me.
Here, betraying my family, my culture, myself.
If it wasn't, why am I afraid?
If it wasn't, why am I tempted to turn back?
Turn back and go home.
One more step, and there are no rules.
One more step, and I am no longer safe.
Why is my mind so empty?
Why does the air I breathe feel like poison against my lungs?
Why does my soul feel dark?
Why do I feel so alone?
