A Journey Into The Unknown

DAY 1:
There it stands in front of me
This world full of the unknown
How it seems full of magic
For there's so much beauty that has grown
Ah, but how shall I approach it
Slowly walk or run full speed
Should I be confident in exploring this unknown
Or should I take heed
Such beauty that escapes this world
A beam of light so heavenly
The unknown that I behold
Is such a mystery to me

DAY 2:
I've reached the outskirts of the unknown
I see so much beauty - but what pain hides
Im so afraid
But I suppose I'll push my fears aside
I push away all of these hauntings
All of these voices warning me
I'll turn my back on what I've known
And let this unknown capture me

DAY 3:
There was so much pain today
I escaped the illusion the beauty fed
Saw some painful truths
That keep replaying in my head
But I think I'll have my heart forget
That pain can exist in this unknown
Afer all, pain is just an experience
That in the end will help you grow
So, I've collapsed back into this unknown world
Letting it's beauty, once again, consume me whole
But it's okay
Because something here grabs hold of my soul

DAY 4:
How wonderful this journey has become
The unknown is bringing something beautiful to light
I'm not too sure what to describe this as
But it can't be wrong because it feels so right
So, I've wandered further into this world
I've reached further into the unknown
I'm still hesitant because of that past pain
But this is better than being alone

DAY 5:
Tears fell heavily earlier
I could have created a lake from this pain
I should have learned my lesson before
Instead, again, it rains
But even though it hurts so badly
Something about this unknown has soothed my heart
And no matter how hard I push away from it's pull
From this unknown I cannot part

DAY 6:
So, I've realized how weak I can truly be
I thought I had so much strength - so much will
Because even though this world unknown has hurt me
I stand by it still
It's puzzling really
How I've traveled so far into this place
Yet have no idea what this is
Even though I stare it in the face

DAY 7:
My God, why would you have me so weak
I know you can't enjoy these tears I cry...
This is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life
I've never before actually felt my heart die
And I feel so empty inside
All because of what traveling into this unknown has done to me
All because I'm such a fool
Such an idiot to continue to let this be
Somebody wake me up
Stop letting me dream that this unknown can be bliss
Snap me into reality
Help me find true happiness

DAY 8:
But that's what this unknown is, I see
It's bliss, happiness - reality
And it consumes my entire being
And even though I've been pained I can't let it escape from me
This unknown is everything to me now
I've journeyed with it for so long
The happiness has erased the pain
The right has overcome the wrong
There's no letting go of this unknown
There's just no letting go
I think I'm finally letting myself realize what this is
I'm finally beginning to realize that I know

Day nine has yet to come
But I wonder what it will bring
Even though this has hurt in the past
I believe tomorrow I shall happily sing
Today is going so well
Better than anything has ever gone before
I'm trusting this "unknown" today
For it's beginning to prove it won't hurt me anymore
