Journey Unknown

I look upon the fork in the road
I've dropped to my knees
I look to the left
The wind blows hard
The path is dark
I can already feel the cold air
As it reaches for my face
I look to the right
The road is broken
Jagged debris is scattered everywhere
A fog is crawling in the distance
The decision isn't easy
No one said it would be
I close my eyes
I wait for a sign
I won't receive one
Tears fill my eyes
Where do I go
Which path do I choose
I look behind me
The scene is one of devastation
I've fallen
I've hurt
I've broken
I've lost
But I've also risen
And I'll rise once more
I won't give up
I won't give in
I'll march on
Beyond the pain
To a journey unknown

Just the Beginning

I have yet to look for you
I have yet to pine for you
I have yet to yearn for you
I have yet to grow
I have yet to want
I have yet to learn
I have yet to seek higher ground
I have yet to meet expectations
I have yet to not disappoint
I have yet to move on
I have yet to be motivated
I have yet to hit my wall
I have yet to climb my mountain
I have yet to plant the flag
I have to love
I’ve lost
I’ve lived
I’ve fought
I’ve won
I’ve hurt
I’ve cried
I’ve fallen
I’ve risen
I’ve been though it
I’ll go through more
I’ve yet to finish
But I’ve already begun
My oh my
Have I begun

They Come On a Wind

It washes over me
Like a calm wind
On a warm summer day
It hits every part of my body
But reaches
The very depths of my soul
I feel them trickle into my finger tips
They yearn to be let free
They wrap around my heart
Endangering the very life they need
They slow my breath
Challenging me to keep them inside
I live for the thrill
But churn in agony
For the very thoughts
That escape in pleasure
Bring heavy pain
Before they’re let free
To be left here
To be left there
Left to be seen
Left to be heard
Left for anyone
To show them light

Sufferer

You're not hurt
But you are
It doesn't affect you
But it does
Everything around you
It still lingers
You're hurt
I know
You suffer
I know
What you've gone through
I have too
What you feel
So have I
No matter how alone you feel
We're still here
No matter how hard you cry
You don't cry alone
I'm not comparing notes
I'm telling you my pain is real
You're not alone
You're not ever alone
Please tell me I'm not either
