A walk in the woods

As I walk in the forest of my mind
I feel the breeze sending shivers to the core
The smell of flowers not yet picked
Like potential never known
The path ahead is worn and familiar
I’ve been down this road before.
Dying trees all around
dreams that will never be known
Sinister Shadows in the distance
Like thoughts I dare not go
Paths not taken grown over with brush
Places I dare not go
I think to myself
Is this the time I go?
The fear of the unknown
 shakes me to the core
I continue down the path well known
Never truly knowing who I am or where I could go
Stuck following the same path until it is no more
