The journey suddenly ends
With truth almost in hand
A truce of silence now put in place
A final veil of silk remains
Glimpses of truth dance on the threads

The journey came to a rightful end

Others took notice
My quest was done
The point was made
That’s all that was needed to be done

The journey came to the right end

One might make a difference
Uniquely my value shined bright
Smiling I thought what a perfect night
My imperfections made it so alright

The journey had to stop that night

I wonder what they saw that night
It hard to see one’s own light
Especially on that night
For rage blinded me that night

It had to stop right there that night

What gave them the ******* right?
They hung me on a cross of pain
Just to see what I might do
Once again I paid the price for all of you

The journey should never have been needed

A smile led to laughter that filled the void
Turning I waved goodbye to them
Surely I must be staking raving mad
One can only hope and dream

*Insanity is a tough cross to bear
