In the Misty Corridors of the Soul

Today is the day she begins her quest
Her challenge to make herself whole...
Her energy and nerves will be put to the test
"In the misty corridors of the soul"

Recently doubts have confused her mind,
Her questions have depths of complexity.
Her confidence and faith feel undermined
In her newfound perplexity.

"In the misty corridors of the soul"
A dim or distant light is in view...
A warped concept of life has taken its toll
And she knows not what to do!

She's like a frightened, lost girl in a forest
Who has no direction to follow.
Will screaming for help work out for the best?
Will struggling alone in despair and sorrow?

Will hindsight become a luxury for her
When she looks back, when she feels whole?
An unknown quantity of people are there
"In the misty corridors of the soul"

Hi Andrea thanks so much for your encouraging feedback. What is great about quotation poetry is that it allows room for each poets personal interpretation and I love the scope we all get to enjoy as different ones write to the theme. :-D
