Stepping Stones

Treading warily along secluded lights in the distance unable to reach them in the dark, so cold walking on these stepping stones one wrong step and i'll fall alone, with a huge duty ahead of me finding out who i really am justification for existing trying to find my confidence it's somewhere recognisable and present everyday seems variant the journey starts all over again other things i take notice of clues to where my confidence is i've tried to find it inside of me but it wasn't there so i'm on the lookout for it wherever it may be i can feel better about myself if only i could reach those lights in the distance that may be where it is instead, i still walk carefully on these stepping stones everyday of my life it's an extensive journey and walking gingerly along stuck in this darkness that i can't escape from it seems there is only one exit and i hope i will reach that one day, somehow when i do, i'll feel contented sometimes it feels like i'll never get there but if i get there, it'll be better not having to be quiet or shy i'll no longer drag this weight around with me and no longer have to tiptoe on these stepping stones Copyright Rebecca Waring
