I try to navigate take the longer path hope the roads confuse me hope they create an illusion, not even the steadiest eyes could endure I try to memorize what I need to explain hope a beast surrounds me and takes my breath away hope it leaves me with no chance to speak again I try to persuade myself it's all going to be okay but really i wish it wasn't me who had to carry the bags explain the mess eventually I run out of roads to take, fake illusions to make, and their are no more beasts that could possibly harm me so i tell them the truth 'the pain hurts every single day, and I'm afraid, his memory is never going away' and if a tear or two falls down my cheeks I turn my back and accept - i've done my best.

The Path We Take
I try to navigate take the longer path hope the roads confuse me hope they create an illusion, not even the steadiest eyes could endure I try to memorize what I need to explain hope a beast surrounds me and takes my breath away hope it leaves me with no chance to speak again I try to persuade myself it's all going to be okay but really i wish it wasn't me who had to carry the bags explain the mess eventually I run out of roads to take, fake illusions to make, and their are no more beasts that could possibly harm me so i tell them the truth 'the pain hurts every single day, and I'm afraid, his memory is never going away' and if a tear or two falls down my cheeks I turn my back and accept - i've done my best.
I feel like this is long and I'm not sure if it sounds okay and if i really need all of it. But posting for now. Comments appreciated :D
