The Line
Today I walked the railway line
Far outside of town
Far from all the friends I've known
And the ones who cut you down
Mused on my achievements
Met failures with a frown
Something restless deep within
Keeps me coming back around.
Forever chasing shadows
Fighting battles lost long ago
Deciphering the cruelty
That many long to show
Not all those who wander are lost
A verse pinned to my mirror read
For it surely is a winding path
That to this moment, led.
