I have lost traction to my path 
I am slipping and sliding on it 
Barely able to keep in place 
Difficult to stay the way 
It takes more effort to go forward 
Than to allow myself to fall out of it
The fear of staying behind 
Falling into the darkness 
And losing site of the Light 
Doesn't allow for me to stay the path 
I must compose myself 
Learn to trust the slow and steady 
Simple and easy 
Cautious and attentive way 
Keeps me safe in the path 
Regardless of mud and water 
Darkness and fear 
That comes from time to time.
