Here and There

When you feel all alone, your world, it stands still
Or the road that you're traveling, seems only uphill

When the darkness, it lingers, even in day
Vision obscured, you can't find your way

When pain wreaks its havoc, too much to bear
Your stuck in the "HERE" yet, long to be "THERE"

When your soul is declining, that wants to ascend,
In a room full of people, you can't find a friend

Take a deep breath, look to your core
Much deeper than surface, the bad, don't ignore

Face all your demons, hold your head high
Have faith in yourself, the pain will subside

The storm soon will pass, the road, it will clear
And the "THERE" that you longed for, will now be found "HERE"
