live this life

Lost
Alone
Aware and confused
 
The path I’m on
I did not take
The burden I carry
I did not make
 
This road of life
Has sunrise
But also sunset
The time when the sky is dark
And the road is wet
Soaked with tears
Of sorrow
And of pain
Waiting for the sun
To rise again
 
Cold
Bare
Hurting and alive
 
Give up
Give in
Shut down
Shut in
 
To run from the briars
The unknown
The faltering
 
To run from the chaos
The shouting
The breaking
 
That is not the life to live
The life to give
Instead I offer up my all
Bruised broken and aware
To rise restored, redeemed, alive.
To live this life, pain and all.
