Dichotomy of a Survivor

When time splits in two...
One you're looking for and one looking for you
You're waiting for someone you don't know yet
And you're not getting any younger 
You've captured the rhyme but lost the poetry
The road seems bleak but familiar
A refugee from the you you used to be 
And a pilgrim on the road to destiny

To fortify you resupply with fortitude and grace
But what persists you can't deny with force of will or face
The path may be familiar, but the route could not be more complex
When time splits in two...  the division is in you
Nonetheless the test is not the journey, it's the end
And a smile is your only friend
