On the threshold I stand alone
Waiting for you to hold me so,
Reach out to you and there's a void
Oh, wither does the laughter abide?

Waiting on the doorway, I stand still
Frozen in place due to nervousness,
Not knowing what to seek
Wish you were here with me.

Waiting on the portal, I stand true
Looking down on the myriad hues of gratitude,
Appreciating every single drop of solitude
Silence speaks a lot, only if you knew.

My dreams demand sacrifice
I stand in the fight of my life
With only a pen in hand
I'm ready to take a stand.

My determination stands on the ashes
Of fears, tears and unlimited dashes
To the finishing line of my goals
I'm not alone, I have my hopes.

My aspirations soar on the wings
Of apprehensions and misgivings,
Throwing caution to the winds
Breaking barriers through grit.
