This place that I find myself in
Is dark and desolate
I don't want to be here
Yet, here is where I find I am
I haven't had the opportunity to write
Nor have I possessed the desire
I hold so many thoughts in my head right now
Though they all origionate from darkness
It is not good that I be here too long
But I can't find a way of escape
I have searched but to no avail
All these events in my life
Events that I will not describe here
Have brought me to this dark and lonely place
The road I travel on here is very long and so very black
Rain is constantly beating upon my tired and worn body
But I will not give up
I travel on
On into the ever darkening darkness
Believing that soon
Very soon I hope
I will see heavens light break through these heavy gray clouds
Then
Then my burdens will be lifted
But till the breaking of light from heaven
I must bear their weight
So heavy
And I am so tired
But my mind commands me
Travel on
Travel on
So
I travel on
One more step
One more step
One more step closer
To Hope
Travel on
Travel on
In a dark place right now, so alone .
