22

Been running all my life for desire,
fought endless fights and countless fires.
Have frozen myself in my own tears,
seen hope through my darkest fears.
I've been lost with no sense of direction,
like a falling rain with an unknown destination.
Felt myself numb by the pain and sorrow,
it has left me at times ugly and hollow.
I've felt the warmth of a bright new morning,
giving away rentless memories that got me drowning.
But the tale is only half way now,
coz i'll survive another 22 somehow....
