The Other RoadA Poem by StormeLightYou and I We walked alone So many roads We took alone You chose death And I chose life Some part of us Is the same inside We fight the others The ones who chose The other road I fought anger You fought grief We both spent many nights Afraid to sleep In some ways We are twin souls But, Souls that took another road One cried out into the night And gave way to invulnerability Who spoke in the face of agony Who gave up their empathy Now, You will never know love Because of what you've taken Your soul hangs empty now From the other road taken But, When things got raw, When things got dark, I spoke out Cried out into the darkness "Vulnerability makes me brave." I said. "Empathy makes me strong." I said. And so, One says to the other, On the roads taken, "You are weaker now." You say. © 2022 StormeLightReviews
