THE TRAVELER
Traveling the dusty path of life
Overwhelmed with so much strife
Knocked down ten times by fear
Carrying load of regret heavy to bear
Staggering yet no one to hold
For men around are after gold
How could they see her worth
When She could not see her worth
Toxic words as arrows pierce right through her
Mockery whispers emanate from within her
Should she stop traveling?
lay in the sand sorrowing?
For there is strength to move on
No gumption to live on
Suffocated by self depreciation
For she got no validation
She was not meant to pass by
To breathe a while and die
they gave her no chance to stay
believing she didn’t have a say
Today she is awake
No more crying by the lake
For its time she rises above her fears
Far above the drowning ocean of her tears
Today she steps out
Erasing all doubt
She is not just passing by
She is here for a purpose
Carrying much gold on the inside
Aware that she can no longer hide
More than just a traveler
She has a voice
A voice the world needs to hear
