Analysis of Forever Marked



Waiting to seize a moment
  I knew would never come

The visions passed like storm clouds
  deception on the run

The light was all around me
  as I stood there in the dark

The shadows of misguided fear
  —my path forever marked

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)
