6.1.18 | for changing minds in a new month

I thought this was what I wanted,
so I packed a bag full of courage and went on
this adventure.
A few steps in and I'm lost
in a deep forest of feelings
with no clear path to be found.
I had no idea it would be like this,
I've set myself up for failure
in this quest.
I wish I could go back to the beginning,
where I studied the map
and traced each route with my fingers
before my beginning.
Now darkness is nearing,
the skies have never looked this
daunting and challenging,
night creeping in to kill.
There are too many towering trees
threatening to fall
and howling wolves
with their fangs bared;
I tremble with every delicate step,
waiting for my foot to be
set right in a trap.
