Carry On

Out through the darkness I do stare
Though full of doubt could I still dare
To conceive of a life without despair
Relate to myself as though I care

At times happiness seems like a thread
Fragile and fleeting replaced by dread
Have heard faith without works is dead
Hope springs eternal or so it’s said

The choice is mine I need not suffer
Perhaps a kick from a love that’s tougher
There are countless souls who had it much rougher
A web of excuses served as my buffer

Time spent wallowing deep in remorse
Spent better charting a new course?
Rather than fold the hand - admit defeat
Perhaps start by getting off my seat



Past hurts, defeats - hope became faded
Anger, resigned, outwardly jaded
Each ending signifies a start
Will I begin anew - with an open heart?

In quiet desperation I lived life out
Alone deafened by the silent shout
Victim belief became devout
Pain prompts the question–what’s
life about?

Process of inquiry had then begun
Life twists and turns – are wasted none
Taken less seriously - can be seen as fun
I know I’ll be finished - when I am done
