My Raven
I was walking
 While I was walking,
 I crossed paths with a Raven.
 
 The Raven spoke
 He told me,
 “You will not keep walking.”
 
 I disobeyed
 And continued on
 Against the orders of the Raven
 
 I wondered,
 “Was it worth it?”
 But I kept on walking
 
 The trees stayed
 But I did not
 I disobeyed
 
 The path ended,
 So I was a trailblazer
 Making my own way
 
 The Raven spoke again,
 “You will not succeed!”
 Anger filled his voice
 
 Fear crept in,
 “Will I fail?”
 My thoughts attacked
 
 I fought
 I made my own path
 Occasionally merging with others
 
 I believed
 Solipsism, not preferential
 Solitude was not my strong suit
 
 I found
 Perseverance rewarded me
 The  discovery of paradise
 I was walking, and the Raven spoke.
 I disobeyed, and I wondered, 
 the trees stayed and my path ended.
 The Raven spoke again, and fear crept in.
 But I fought, I believed and I found Paradise.
