The Journey

Why the Destination Is Only Half the Trip

By Courtney GetzPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Gone so far, not far enough

There's so much more to see out there

And long road back to nothing

One foot forward, one foot back

Before the final leap. Off into the unknown

When it feels like forever's passed

Yet still only feel like yesterday

When time has become irrelevant

and you don't know what to say

No longer recognise the once familiar

Or who lives behind your eyes

You see the world in subtle shades

It's no longer black and white

What happened to your preconceptions

Where did your ideals go?

They left you hanging off a cliff

What is waiting down below?

The more you learn, the more you grow

The more you see, the more you know

Good or bad it's hard to say,

You'll find out further down the road.
