To Be

Always, you've walked here
And there was comfort in the familiar
So you seek it again
The warmth, like an embrace
For a time perhaps,  it works
You are able to distract yourself
But in the end, it is empty
And you knew that was coming
It stings, it's almost a loneliness at first
This knowledge of your path
To change, embrace the unknown
But you've seen it, you know the truth
After all those years wondering
You know that it is real
And your life's truth lies there
It is your choice
Return to your sleep
Or to live
You have made your decision already
Allow yourself to be
