Places on the Path

Sometimes the road of life

Leads to some cities and towns

You don't wanna go to

Some are the big smog filled cities

Some are the deserted ghost towns

Filled with all the things that

An innocent child's nightmares are made of

 

These places are uncomfortable

They make us want to hide

Run.

Our thoughts are all different

But they have the same purpose

We roam down the road of life

Sometimes fast at times slow

But the road keeps going

 

We are brought to places

We don't want to be

But we are never brought to places

That have no exit

There is always another place

 

When our path finally does end

It is never in one of those places

Fear and hostility are

No where to be found at the end of time

Peace and serenity

When we finally leave our path

Where our human form can no longer walk

We are home.

Notes

To anyone who thinks they can't make it past this, thing, whatever it is that is making you stuck. One of those places in life where you don't want to push through it anymore. Remember, you are beautiful, you are strong, and no matter what you believe someone or something will help you through. Your path does not end in a place where things are hard and life is being cruel. Your soul will be at peace one day and you will know why you are here. So please for those people who want to stop trying, you have made it through what you have because you are strong, no one else needs to understand. But I am telling you now that your strength is BEAUTIFUL. Don't give that up!
