RUT
My heart aches with tremendous pain,
I can't help but feel the inability to
accomplish change.
I lie awake yet it's as if I am in a dream.
I sleep and have nightmares
convincing it's the real thing.
I ponder many ideas without fail.
To find the unthinkable to lift the heavy
veil.
Clearing the path to set out what I had
intended to do.
I daydream of one day basking with a
bright and clearer view.
I close my eyes and beg for relief ,
but I never really know what it is that I
need.
Collision and turbulence shakes
my ground beneath.
I stagger on a swerving path,
I skip over the larger cracks.
To miss falling down and suffer the
impact.
Undenying truth,
of a life that has intended use.
I know I could make the most out of ,
instead I have refused.
Light and the dark are at war with one
another.
I am at war with living my
future,
Learning the truth that I must
uncover.
Masking the past to believe I am
strong.
Convincing myself thing's don't
always go wrong.
Light at the end of the tunnel still is
seen.
The flame continues to burn although
gleam.
I want to save everyone from so much,
and the truth is I must rescue myself
from this rut.
Only then am I any help to anyone or
anything.
Only then am I able to give to another
and persevere.
Gradually I do fade with a persistent
falling degree.
My opportunity is then I gain eyes that
should see.
Every slip and burn is another generous
turn.
That is my gift and opportunity to take the chance to
learn.
