Susan Gentry Poet Free verse

My Journey

The drivers of my journey bring me to here,                
   somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow,
alive, leaving a trail of blame, pain, shame,               
   accountability, restitution and change.

Living life with less selfishness and self-will,
   sufficiently provides all daily needs.
Driven by free choice, fate and faith to an unknown
   future - I'll arrive on time - I'll be okay.
