My Path

I walk through this land of despair
No life is to be found
I’ve gone so far just to drop on my knees
And scream without a sound
I raise my head to the sky
Watch the titanic clouds pass over the edge of the mountains
Feel the cold rain pour upon my face
Like some terrible, malignant sky fountains
As I clutch the soil between my bloody hands
I once again gather my will to carry on
I push the earth away from me, to my feet
And walk once more ‘till dawn
The distance is tremendous
I lose an ounce of hope with every stride
With so many obstacles to overcome
It’s an embarrassment to say I tried
So, I discover my motivation
My persistence to leave this land
And as I pass over these rocks that sit there
I realize with time they will turn to sand
Which leads my thinking
How long have these rocks been here
Were they once mountains
Or people like me broken by fear
So I concentrate
I must find the end
I must find the souls that I have hurt
And those souls I must mend
