like walking on eggshells worse walking on shards of glass broken window pane i leaned too far out this time afraid of every moment terrified that every breath will be the one to break me open scared of spilling over and out like blood on a new carpet there's no cleaning this mess i convince myself it's just my dreaming but even in sleep i am awake there is no pretending there are some roads we simply must take i may not like this one i may hate this path with every ounce of meaning every once of life i have left but i guess that's why life is funny it's not always about the journey nor the destination its not about choosing a path not about the road less taken it's about continuing down that road taking each step in this dark alley not because i want to not because i have to but because that's life to keep going to keep going until you are you again until i am me again i'll keep going i know soon i'll find that path that feels a little more like home
