The Journey

The Journey I took a journey through the shadows of my mind Knowing there is a child I must find. In the shadows I see a child all alone and crying I whisper softly be patient little one I am trying. I share with you the knowledge of your pain Your secrets I have held but not in vain. You were my strength as I was yours And together we closed many doors. I locked away the things I could not face Then dried my eyes so there was not a tear to trace. Secrets locked away in solitude Praying the memories would no longer intrude. I learned to laugh at all the sorrow And put life on hold until tomorrow. My child within got left behind, Locked safely away in the shadows of my mind. So now I must go back in time To embrace the child I left behind. One day we must become one to be freed To continue our journey wherever it may lead.
