Finding my way

I try so hard but always end up here. Back at the start

Finding my way

In the silence of a world that feels so wide,

I wander through the echoes of empty streets,

The weight of my thoughts, heavy inside,

With nowhere to go, my heart skips its beats.

The faces around me fade into a blur,

I reach for connection, but it slips from my hands,

Each smile feels distant, a ghost's quiet stir,

In this sea of voices, no one understands.

Walls close in like shadows, thick and cold,

I seek for a refuge, a comforting place,

But the absence of warmth makes the heart feel old,

As time drips slowly, an unwelcome race.

I listen for laughter, a spark in the night,

But silence remains, a companion so true,

Every step echoes the longing for light,

Yet the path remains dark, with no guiding view.

There’s nowhere to turn, just whispers of doubt,

I search for a hand, for a heart that may care,

But the emptiness swells, a fog all about,

Cloaking my spirit, with burdens to bear.

Still, I carry the hope that tomorrow will bring,

A moment of solace, a chance to feel whole,

For even in shadows, resilience can sing,

A promise within me, a light in my soul.

So here I stand, in this solitary space,

Knowing that longing, though heavy, will fade.

One day I’ll find, in this open place,

A path to new horizons, where dreams aren’t afraid.
