The Depth of Your Journey
Others around you notice it well,
Those who love you, a heart-breaking story they could tell.
You have abused your body, you've weaken your mind.
You're now in search of someone,
Someone who isn't wise enough to see the depth of your journey,
The one you've traveled so many times.
You once were a wise man,
But eventually this wisdom slowly vanished,
Maybe so slowly you never noticed when it left,
You probably know not of the place nor time.
But now, here you are alone and afraid,
So alone, you know not what to do.
So with passing of time,
You will learn to quicken your responses if others are around you,
You'll know what to say, you'll know what to do.
But oh how sad that it has to be,
You can't quicken the distraught that fills your eyes,
When you are caught unaware,
And the depth of your journey,
Outshines the person you are now trying to be.
Now you must realize,
The depths will never let you be free.
