I know where I'm going because I know where I have been and where I ultimately belong. |
-Down The Darkest Road- by Keaton Foster Trees Skeletons In the breeze Light unseen Blackness bleeds Nothing is free Roaming around unchained Infecting all that could be With all that has been Down the darkest road No one goes No one but me I understand the path And have lived the journey Each perilous step counted Every hill traversed All sunken depths mastered The distance shorter With each perilous undertaking What’s down there Is the suffocating reality Of my entire life Sometimes I stop Taking no further steps Sometimes for days That feel like lifetimes I stand completely still Unsure if I should turn back Certain that I must go forward In such a surreal state I find limited peace But just as I was meant I take the steps and persist Down there Is where I must go Where I justly belong My truth and my home I might return Come back to beginning But as always I make my way Back to the ending Where all that I am intersects Coming together As one certain abruptness My home, my skin, and bones Down the darkest road… Down The Darkest Road Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
