Destination
How dark is this night?
How long is this way?
Is there a destination?
Am I am on my way?
I am walking slow and unsteady
My shoulders feel heavy, really heavy
As I am carrying a mountain of miss fortune with me.
I haven’t asked for it, it wasn’t mine
I have given this gift with open eyes.
The night is quite and cold outside
I’m scared of unknown, but not afraid of dark
I hear my breaths and it whispers in my ears
Courage is running out, chased by the fear.
I know there is tomorrow
I know there is another day.
Where I’m standing
It doesn’t lead that way.
Is there a destination?
Do you know the way?
That shelter lonely soul,
Who lost its way?
