Carry Me

Just For A Little While

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Carry me on my way,

to the path of least resistance.

I've forgotten what it means to feel joy.

Carry me on my way,

till I no longer worry about my actions.

Regretting things, I have done, to get me by.

Carry me on my way,

only everything is everything.

I don't remember who, I'm supposed to be.

Carry me on my way,

I've wasted so much precious time.

Playing these childhood games of someone's - make believe.

Carry me on my way,

change the plans here in my mind.

Who knows what happens to time passed away?

Carry me on my way,

I don't remember the path to take.

I feel a change of pace, would really do me good.

I need someone to carry me on my way,

Carry me....

Show me again what love means,

Carry me.....

but only for a little while.
