The Road I Travel
The Road I Travel
The road I walk,
I walk alone.
Only my shadow,
Hears my cries.
My heart is empty,
Empty as the road I walk.
My blood pumps cold,
As my heart becomes heavy.
I search my soul,
Searching for some amount of faith.
People ask me how I feel,
I tell my truth as it is real.
Naked as though,
I had no clothes.
Unseen as though,
I did not exist,
Unheard as though,
I had no voice.
Abandoned as though,
I was not wanted.
Numb as though,
I had no emotions.
This is the road I walk,
The only road I’ve ever traveled.
