Today I was feeling very depressed and lonely. I thought of myself as being swallowed up by a black void.

Please don’t misunderstand me I want to graduate, but the thought of me moving beyond this stage in life is like a vise grip on my heart causing me to sabotage myself I never thought I could be more than just some big black guy, I knew when I was still in treatment that I would end up doing something involving manual labor because of my size, but the moment I started to change that belief I feel as if the universe has been doing everything

    The speaker does not forge his own path though showing that he is not the only one to take the more potentially difficult path, but states, “in leaves no step had trodden black” which shows that no one had chosen either path before him leaving the decision to himself without the opinion of others who have traveled before him.
