the way

We let go past bits of ourselves
In unnoticeable ways
In unnoticeable moments
To unnoticing strangers
But we still walk forwards
On the trail we walk
From the anonymous steps before us
To more anonymous steps that follow
To a destination we have heard from stories
But we will see in our own unique ways
To tell other people who walked behind us
Who will have the same thoughts as us now
With the same realization about their future
