Highway

by universe

4 February 2014 Every day, I stood b'fore this path of concrete I walk miles and miles away in discreet The pain— I drag all along the way It doesn’t matter if I am not okay Sometimes, the wind would assault me Some other times, the rain takes its toll Day and night, I leave them be It’s always same, , I got to roll This is a two-way street: I’m tryin’ to find you You— tryin’ to hide. The sky has never been so blue As it turns silver ‘n’ black like bruises in your arms You never told me, love like poison harms I lift my head and gaze at the distance Turn back, to the track I cover at that instance My mind wants one more step, never give up My heart stops, be content, I’ve done enough I look up to see the stars glowin' like big eyes Watchin’ over me, listenin’ to my dead cries Your silent treatments I cannot withstand How I wish, things were different in my hand But I’m no longer holdin' on to those days I never had a chance b'fore I can This highway is long, a windin' abyss I’m caught in despair like a lonely man

Notes

Sometimes, we get lost in our journey: detours, dead ends, downhills, etc. But, its those setbacks and challenges that makes life worth living. It’s the journey that counts, not the destination after all. We have to find our little paths to pave greater roads for others. It’s not easy to take the less travelled, but in the end, one will understand why streets and highways have names. Have faith and courage, traveller! —L
