The Journey

Finding my way back

By Tina RosePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

My head spins and aches

As I try to decipher

The choice it makes

And how I paid the pied piper

My heart screams and claws

Trying to get a say

Against its surrounding laws

That always get in the way

My body cries and shivers

Frustration stinging to the bone

Wanting for once not to be the giver

To not be dry as a stone

My soul knows this is not the end

But it keeps it's secret well

That love still waits around the bend

If I just survive this temporary journey through hell

The landscape is not unfamiliar

I've been on this holiday before

In fact you could call it a pillar

One I wished to visit no more

Yet here I am again

Cause you can't have joy without pain

But from here I can

See that at least I'm still sane

The darkness has not overcome me

My light will continue to shine

What's meant to be , will be

And I will have what is destined to be mine

If I just give it time
