The Purpose

Trying to get through the battles I am forced to face,

This wasn’t going to be easy, it is almost like one difficult race. 

So many roads I went down in these times,

Not sure which is the right way, when will I find that sign?

Looking back, I have to admit there were plenty of twists and turns,

How did I make it here? I know there have been lessons learned. 

You might not see what I can through these eyes,

But there’s no need, this vision is my own, I only hope to rise. 

Getting past the struggles, I only hope for better days,

Hopefully the time will come when all of these steps lead to the perfect open stage. 

The Ticking Clock

The clock goes forward when it comes to time,

But the memories just keep on repeating in my mind.

Not looking back and regretting what’s happened,

Surprised I’m still able to get to this spot after all the crying and laughing. 

There were some good times that had been experienced 

Still, I can’t help but think of the ones that held me back with bad feelings.

The trains getting to the next stop but am I going to be ready?

I’m trying to keep my head up, making sure I’m walking steady.

Those who don’t understand will not have their arms open,

But still, be prepared for that one before the door closes.
