Coming To Truth
What a daughter am I?
To fall astray
What a wretch to leave the way
I’ve failed again
Fallen harder this time
On a step that never tripped me before
Am I growing weaker?
Or have I just sopped trying
No- I’m trying I know
It’s just different this time
I’m not getting back up
Least not yet-I’m thinking
I don’t understand why I can’t run
Others are running-
Others are smiling-
But every time I smile
Another enemy tends to attack
What wrong with me
Will I ever learn?
Or do we never learn
Is that it?
Do we just keep trying?
Because that’s ok just as long as that’s ok
Just as long as I’m not expected to soar
I don’t know
Guess I’ll get back up
I’ll start climbing again
Maybe that just it
It’s a long hard road
We are expected to climb
We will never reach the top
We will ever slip and fall
But how better can we show our love
That to simply
Climb on.
