Going Away

Amidst the dusk, I bid farewell,
Embarking on journeys far and wide,
What happens on this venture, none can tell
My heart being my only guide

The hearth that warmed, now a fading flow,
Distance stretches, uncertainty cast their veil,
Yet day by day, I continue to grow,
Singing songs of hope on a winding trail.

Through valleys deep and mountains towering,
Never looking back in the past,
Each step with a fall, in the process of wandering,
The thought of failures, long past.

Though parted with the place where comes my name,
It stays in my heart, all the same.

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you feel like the whole world is opening up in front of you? I experienced this when I arrived at my boarding school, and tried to depict my feelings in this piece.
