Do You Know the Road I Speak Of

Do You Know The Road I speak of? 
(dedicated to #Robin Williams# )


 You know the roads I speak of..
 Regret, heartache, and tears
 That slope that keeps on heightening
 Leaving the ending nowhere near

 You know the places I wander
 To search, to flee, to hide
 The place to erase uncertainty
 That’s so impossible to find

 You know the distance places
 Of seclusion, withdraw, despair
 The gap that waits for closure
 The break that lacks repair

 You know the underground channels
 The deceit, sins, and lies
 The act that changes existence
 That face that you despise

 We mature and learn through journey 
 A compass of emotional travel
 A hike that we all must endure
 As the life of one unravels
