Awaiting Deliverance

Wanted to start a poem with "cross the path" for a long time. So here it came. this poem's about overcoming hardship and then facing the world alone, waiting until you find the one for you.

Cross the path of worthlessness,
self-mutilation,
suffering, and hardship
and you come face to face with a road of hope,
a road of new beginnings and possibilities.
And it is there you sit waiting,
until your road finally intertwines
with a new road,
soon making a four-way intersection,
an interconnection called a family.
Only, my road has yet to cross,
leaving the path I'm sitting on so alone.
But, barefoot and ready,
I know I must start walking,
and look forward to the day
when my loneliness won't be so overbearing,
where my road will cross with another
and intertwined we will be forever.
