Journey
I walked away years ago
planning to forge my own way.
My journey lead me
down many paths,
twisted, straight, rocky, smooth, paved, dirt
Along the way, I made turns down
side paths that were only dead ends.
I made u-turns sending me
right back to where I began.
I made steps forward only to be
pushed back or to stumble
off the path completely.
Each cobblestone passed,
a sign of progress.
The past, and you,
and all you stand for, and symbolize
fading behind.
As each brick disappeared behind me,
a piece of me disappeared with it.
The bricks crumbled in unison with
the very soul of me I was trying to find.
