How to escape yourself

Walking down a path
its so clearly marked, the ones i should take
but it seems so unreal, unreliable
there has to be some mistake

this cant be, whats expected of me
so much could go wrong
this path is safe and familiar
I've taken it for so long

afraid to take a risk
and attempt to change it all
i walk by my designated fate
my emotions form a wall

so sturdy and unrelenting
it'll never give in
I've blocked out all new feelings
that now all feeling is a sin

so I'm forced to take a new path
and experience a bit of pain
treading water, about to sink
and hold my head down in shame

asking god why I've been forced to this
why this path, I've been led
but then i heard"your future awaits new things"
"look at the path ahead"

so i stared into the sunlight
almost at the ending of this cruel maze
so i walked in a straight direction
so long that a sane man sure would craze

then another obstacle came in my way
and finally i had to care
but now it seemed so easy
i mean i was almost there

so i followed the sun just one more time
so that i could finally see
a world where love is a good thing
its no longer scary, now that I'm free
