The Journey
by me...
Walking alone,
in this dark alleyway
With nothing on his back
except memories to help stay sane.
A journey so long
that only he could walk for his own,
not with a friend, nor a mentor,
just so that he could grow.
Despite the pain, the tears and sweat,
the loss of friendships and all his regrets.
He remembers the times when he's used his voice.
One others longed, but never the guts to say it strong.
Each step he takes,
he reminds himself,
that as long as he moves,
the nearer his regain.
Answerable to God
and only to himself
He knows that only he
would know if he's done well.
