I am afraid.
I know the path I should follow.
It excites me.
It terrifies me.
It is different from what I have done before.
I am alone, face to face with myself.
My countenance is bare.
I have no mask on.
It is a solitary road.
Few walk with me.
Yet, this time around, I will not falter.
I will keep my lane.
I have locked into my purpose.
