I walk away,

But like a current, I am pulled back to sea.

I want to know,

The feeling that will be in my chest,

When I walk out victoriously.

But all too soon,

The doubts that I push away,

Come crashing back to make me swoon.

Like a tidal wave,

It all comes back, it comes back way too

soon.

My heart tells me to go,

Yet my brain says no.

I want to escape,

But that would be the easy way to go,

And I am not one,

To take the path most traveled.

So I will suck up my fears,

And turn my head away from the gravel,

Because the consequences that I once

 Feared, are nothing to me now.

I have the strength, and I have God,

So I feel comfortable with my vow.

I get in my boat, and sail out to sea,

Knowing there is no turning back.

This will be my moment, this will be my

fight, with the sea slowly turning black

The raging sea,

Wants to capture by boat,

Though I knew, because I did foresee.

I can feel the tension rising,

You could cut it with a knife.

But I do not give in to its conniving.

For I know its weaknesses,

And I can use them like using my time.

So I pick my words wisely,

And pray one more time,

But before my last “Amen”,

It takes its first strike.

I open my eyes,

And I don’t back down,

I even step up a bit further,

Not afraid of standing my ground.

It tries again,

But it knows it’s too weak,

And then it tries once more,

Before it falls at my feet.

The sea becomes quiet,

And I turn to face my Lord,

I give all credit to Him,

For He knows He is adored.

So I turn back my sails,

And watch the setting sun,

Knowing when I return,

I can tell them all “it’s done”.

But before they give me the credit,

I will make them look up in the sky,

When they see the shooting stars,

I think they will know why.

So when I gather around my people,

I will show them all the way,

The way that gives you so much strength,

And shows you how to stay.

So with I must leave you,

To conquer other dreams,

But remember this story,

When life dares you to scream.
