a moment

I am met at the crossroads
By a moment I do not know--
Taken aback, at last,
This is the reason for my travels.

I gaze into the invisible horizon.
My mind reaches further than my sight
Imagining the continuation
Of each road.

This one is the one that I shall travel.
It is not easy, for it leads into my soul.
Into darkness and shame and anguish,
But it is not... at least not.

I believe
The greatest action a person can aspire to
Is to look at truth and accept it

I believe
This is a thing many spend their lives
Fleeing from
