AAA

I've stepped onto the soil
of the road to starting over, at last
Gone the first inch of the first mile,
the first of the many 'til my last

Though cracks or crevasses may have me detoured
Still, hardly the depths of the ditches I've endured

Every sign pointed this way,
my heart was navigating
On a dead end street
I was broke down, left waiting

I salvaged my title and caught the left right express
Walked away from the wreckage, towards what's best

I quite liked this one. The first step is always the most difficult, but as we trudge along, and time passes, things ease and we end up realizing that life is actually quite forgiving.

I salvaged my title and caught the left right express
Walked away from the wreckage, toward what's best -- great ending (though I think you could come up with something more powerful than "what's best")

Overall, this was very well stated and presented. Completely enjoyed the read.

A poem of reckoning, when we finally come to our senses, it's always a struggle but even more so without knowing what direction we're headed. Keep right Keely, nice one!

Only those that have left the footprints, remember the blood shed on the journey....lest we forget, life kisses our souls, with scars.....loved it, Keely.

Hi Keeley another sage piece of reflection from you. You lay out well the story many have to take when we realise there is no choice and we have the responsibility, strength and wherewithal to fend for ourselves. Well portrayed!

Now I liked this, it is an honest reflection of striving.
