My Raven
I was walking
While I was walking,
I crossed paths with a Raven.
The Raven spoke
He told me,
“You will not keep walking.”
I disobeyed
And continued on
Against the orders of the Raven
I wondered,
“Was it worth it?”
But I kept on walking
The trees stayed
But I did not
I disobeyed
The path ended,
So I was a trailblazer
Making my own way
The Raven spoke again,
“You will not succeed!”
Anger filled his voice
Fear crept in,
“Will I fail?”
My thoughts attacked
I fought
I made my own path
Occasionally merging with others
I believed
Solipsism, not preferential
Solitude was not my strong suit
I found
Perseverance rewarded me
The discovery of paradise
I was walking, and the Raven spoke.
I disobeyed, and I wondered,
the trees stayed and my path ended.
The Raven spoke again, and fear crept in.
But I fought, I believed and I found Paradise.
