It Happens Once

I stayed in one place, Surrounded by strangers, All my life without any chase, Never seeing what kind of danger, That I was being put in, Couldn't leave, Lost at sight and then, I would weave, In and out, Running away, All about, I cannot stay, Anymore, I find, My own way, Though I am too blind, To become astray, From myself, And what I have become, I longed for help, But need none, Anymore, I ran alone, For the longest time, In my own zone, It was the highest climb, I had taken, Leaving everything behind, Me and allowing no more fakeness, Which is how I became this kind, And I realized, That it only happens once, Life with all of its paths and challenges, It only happens once.
