An Unexpected Journey
Time to move
Towards something I cannot yet see
Somewhere safe
Amid my strife
I cannot defeat
I try to find my own escape
Always watching…waiting
As my burdens are too hard to bear
Leaving me buried in the desert sand, my soul has gone
Burned away by a fire deep within
Rain falls
I feel someone now close by
I need for him to stay, but he is already gone
And all that is left, is the past
I dream of him
Until he fades away
Wishful thinking
Won’t bring him back
So I drown again as life moves on
And close my heart, afraid to feel again
The wind blows past
Carrying with it an uneasy calm
My heart still full of sorrow, I seek relief
But something else is there that will not leave
A prisoner of my own fears
I can no longer discern my dreams from reality
Now my mind has lost control
Pain is the only thing that reminds me I am alive
And so I cut myself
To see if I still bleed
I try to find my balance on the edge
To find a way out of my broken thoughts
I lean on those around me
That have been by my side this whole time
Steady and patient
Until I see my old self once again
I come back to earth, and I have learned
Through all the misery and the pain
Someone was always there, even if unseen
