Journey
JOURNEY
MANY MILES ALONG WITH MANY FEET.
WALKED TO LONG TO BE FACED WITH DEFEAT.
I KEEP GOING NO MATTER HOW HARD THE PATH WAY.
MY GOAL IS CLOSER WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE.
THE HILLS ARE LONG AND SOMETIMES HARD YOU SEE.
ITS A TEST OF STRENGTH HAVING NO ONE HERE WITH ME.
ITS SO EASY TO STOP OR QUIT.
BUT THATS THE WRONG WAY I MUST ADMIT.
I MUST TAKE THIS JOURNEY TO FIND OUT WHERE I BEGIN.
MAYBE TO FIND MY LOST SELF AT THE THE END.
THE JOURNEY GETTING SHORTER I CAN SLMOST SEE MY GOAL.
IM SO TIRED ITS BEEN QUITE A TOLL.
IM SO EXHAUSTED DO NOT KNOW IF I CAN GO ON.
TELL MYSELF YOU CAN DO IT LOOK HOW FAR YOU HAVE GONE.
FINALLY IM HERE WITH SWEAT ON MY BROW.
I CANT BELIEVE I MADE ITS CAN NOT SEE HOW.
KIND OF DISSAPOINTED AT THE END CAUSE
DID NOT LIKE WHAT I SEE.
THE ONLY THING WAITING THERE WAS A
MIRROR LOOKING BACK AT ME.
WALKED SO LONG LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FIND.
HOW STUPID WAS I FOR WALKING BLIND.
NOW WITH EYES OPEN MY JOURNEY IS EASIER TO FOLLOW.
I FEEL MUCH BETTERR KNOWING THE TRUTH
EVEN IF HARD TO SWALLOW.
