The Dark Path

I walk along the path of life
uncertain of what lies ahead
memories crawl through my head
filling me with uncertainty

Still, I walk on, though I need rest
my body won't give in
to the possibility of death
I push on....

Along the way I find
that my heart falters
my skin cracks
my face is blank

I want to run
but I can't
tribulations follow me
as I slow to a halt
I fall to my knees, so tired,
want to sleep.

I let them envail me
in their warm embrace
my tribulations have me
I fall from grace.

When I wake
I find that the road continues
I am not done with my journey
my tribulations have left me
and I stand and walk
I'm all in one piece....
so I continue on.
