ANSA… for the love of writing
Sometimes, you wake up and try to reason everything going on.
Are you doing it right? Is it going well?
You try to see the light but all is surrounded by darkness.
You hope for someone to hold you but there is no one.
The lonely and dark path to get where you want to be is scary.
You cry. You hear shouts but realize it's all in your head.
You want to get out of this place, this feeling, but it's tough.
The whispers, the cool and painful breeze encompasses your mindset.
But you have to keep walking, you have no choice.
Hoping soon enough, you see the light.
The path before me bends and turns
Fears beneath my skin
Reach out
Darkening the mid day sun
I call out and my echo responds
Every step
Threatening to send my soul
Headlong into the debts of Hades
Yet
They had said the road less travelled
Would get me to my destination
Faster than I could say
Jack Robinson
Unlike Crusoe
I fancy not life adventures
I desire company
But the journey of discovery
Leads me through misty forests
Home to the mystic
Unaccompanied
This road before me bends and turns
Fears keep success at bay
And the gray blinds me to opportunity
The mid day sun shines
Yet clouded skies hide the light
