To run, to hide, to turn back These thoughts running in the back of my mind This path I took A seemingly endless road Full of jagged rocks that pierce deeply into my skin A road with darkness overshadowing each and every corner Eyes bitter and cold peering out of the darkness A road I walked with my naked feet Blistered and wounded With countless scars that covered my weak and fragile skin I stumbled I fell I wept Though each time I fell, I heard a small, still voice Small, but able Able to give me new strength Strength to run, To walk a million miles more Though each time I stumbled, I am greeted by a hand that pulls me back up A hand with great power A hand that upholds my very being Pushing me to go further Pushing me to finish till the very end Though each time I wept, A light a thousand suns bright Touches the surface of my skin Its warmth enough to take all the tears away Reminding me that in every darkness is a speck of light A speck of light enough to overcome darkness To over come grief Strength, power, hope. To Keep going For in every journey Is a destination For in every hardship Comes great triumph This path I took I still take A seemingly endless road to no where Seemingly...

This path I took
To run, to hide, to turn back These thoughts running in the back of my mind This path I took A seemingly endless road Full of jagged rocks that pierce deeply into my skin A road with darkness overshadowing each and every corner Eyes bitter and cold peering out of the darkness A road I walked with my naked feet Blistered and wounded With countless scars that covered my weak and fragile skin I stumbled I fell I wept Though each time I fell, I heard a small, still voice Small, but able Able to give me new strength Strength to run, To walk a million miles more Though each time I stumbled, I am greeted by a hand that pulls me back up A hand with great power A hand that upholds my very being Pushing me to go further Pushing me to finish till the very end Though each time I wept, A light a thousand suns bright Touches the surface of my skin Its warmth enough to take all the tears away Reminding me that in every darkness is a speck of light A speck of light enough to overcome darkness To over come grief Strength, power, hope. To Keep going For in every journey Is a destination For in every hardship Comes great triumph This path I took I still take A seemingly endless road to no where Seemingly...
