Crossroads
Her thoughts are scattered
Her emotions running wild
Everything seems to be a bit off
She doesn't quite feel like herself
Unsure of how to explain it to others
When she tries to talk about it she's at a loss for words
When she tries to write nothing comes out right
Someone once said write what's in your heart and soul
Just put it on paper and revise it later
Usually when nothing else works
Her writing always does the trick
But even now she finds herself at a crossroad
Her writing has always reflected her thoughts
Her own way of escaping it all
But now even that doesn’t seem to be the cure
Perhaps it's because her writing has always been so personal
And now even in that it shows the confusion she holds within
She can't run nor can she hide
The problem at hand she must face
But where to start she has no clue
Seems as if no matter what she tries to do
She feels as if she stands in a crowd
Screaming so loud yet no one can hear
Almost as if she can't really be seen
Leaving her feeling invisible to those around her
As no one really understands what she's going thru
All the things she used to do for peace
Only leaves her with more questions
As to why she can’t escape all that she's feeling now
All this just leaves her feeling so broken
A new book she tries to open
Thinking of starting over once more
But a new page in a new book
Doesn't change a thing
There's so much she has overcome
And this too will pass
It just seems as if it won't pass fast enough
A fresh start, a fresh heart, a fresh way of seeing the world
Those are the things she seeks
And yet those are things she can't seem to find
No matter where she turns or where she looks
But still she finds the courage to keep pushing
Trying again and again
Her own hero she has become
Learning that no one would fight for her but her
So even when she struggles she refuses to give up
Cuz when you are at your lowest
She's come to learn
That from there it can only get better
And though it may not happen overnight
IT WILL HAPPEN
In that much she has faith
After all she's been here before
And if you can get thru it once
You can get thru it again
You just gotta hang on for the ride
Keep your head held high
And matter what else you do
Never Give up the Fight!!!
