The Path Unpaved


For my daughter my mother, for myself, for HOPE for Humanity-Don't give up Ever!!!

The Path Unpaved


I've walked this path alone so often,
I know it's form by heart.

And now, as always, my footing's unsure,
on its unstable and rocky start.


I second-guess each step I take,
for fear I'll slip and fall,

That one wrong step will lend me to,
an end that ends it all.

One misplaced foot, one careless word,
an avalanche begins;
The tug of war of heart and mind,
till one of them finally wins.


Each time I've walked this troubled path,
It’s ended  journey not together,
Each time I fear that to walk it again,
will tear me apart forever.

I haven't the strength to walk it alone,
nor the energy, if only I knew..
As every time I take this route,
I fear it may be my last too.


I don't know how to stop the pain,
Of traveling down this road again.
I've fought it time and over,
only to start it over again.


Yet each and every day I persevere,
As I steady my Unstable start:
I know that only change can come
From all of Passions Heart.

So if I must, I’ll rest awhile.
Ignore the Siren song.
Take comfort in the truth I dare
Unshakably, I will try to stand eternally strong.
