The path twists and turns
Once rayed by the sun,
Now covered in leaves
The asphalt undone.
The end of the rainbow
Once so clear
Is shadowed by doubt-
How did I get here?
My fingers skim the surface
Of a future once heard of
The stones blocking the view
They once deterred us.
Again, stuck in a crack in the road
left to wonder thoughtlessly
in my humble abode.
From a great distance it appears
Those that walk the same path
conquer the battle in an instant.
But still comes another day
So remains this feeling
Where I'm left lingering in dismay.
I used to feel the warmth
Of the sun on my face...
I miss that feeling, today.
Carry on!
That's what they say
But all these pent up feelings
Are in my way.
How do they do it?
How do I do it?
I should just make a list
Of all the questions I have
About this destructive path.
Why must I do this to myself?
Falling, and falling again.
I truly wonder when
I'll allow this cycle to end.
Goodbye for now
I'll see you again in a little while.
