Rocky roads I have travelled
Over walls I still climb But I’ve healed all my bruises And pain fades over time. With each breath I inhale And each heartbeat I hear I take comfort in knowing My future’s quite clear. Although I know not Where I’m headed, but how. I choose my emotion; Know my future is now. The past will not linger And my fate still unknown. But I’m happy just being; My mistakes I condone. I now snuggle my loved ones; They will know that I care. For holding back only hinders; Leaves a shattering air. What time still remains? This I’d rather not know. But I refuse to stay hidden Underneath the shadow Of oppression and malice. This my past taught me well. I must choose to move forward To escape the dark Hell. So pursuing my dreams And believing in Life, I find it’s now possible To leave worry behind. Each moment I cherish Helps tame the profane. Unavoidable secrets, but Healing now the campaign. There once was a time Almost gave up it all; Blood trickled; tears fell - Only heard demons call. But a paw to my shoulder Drove me out of the dark. Through a Doberman’s love I regained a small spark. Been fanning the ember My will seems to amaze Yet I’m humbled by memory Self-reflection my blaze. So this season I’m hopeful As I’m finding my niche That my life remains epic My past a small glitch.
