This Journey

This Journey

A Poem by Michael Wright
"

They say it is the journey we should pay attention not the destination. Some days I wonder

"

The path I have taken has been hard

The wounds upon my feet bleed daily

The scars upon the soul have healed

I am burdened to carry this pain day to day

I see no escape from this prison I created

I blame no others for my actions

I have never been a Saint

I never asked to be sinner

This is my curse for all my actions

I walk forever between heaven and hell

Never finding love

Only finding hate

I walk among the living with no notice

They stare right through my being

Never seeing the real person down deep

They miss the best part of me

The intense core of my being

They just continue to look past me

Look for the easy and softer way

My baggage is bulky and heavy

More then these shoulders can bare

My day is not done, I have miles to go
