[night watch]

See my motivation isn't loneliness.
My motivation is not fear.
My motivation is not needing something.
My motivation isn't even that I couldn't do
this, lack of capacity or capability.
So I am thankful,
that I actually get to choose.
I ain't a sun of your universe,
I am a shooting star.

I will follow something ancient,
something that was written before
I knew how to read,
A sound that was sang,
before I had ears,
A calling,
spoken to the depths of the sea,
and where I swam ashore,
I shall belong.

"And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
