The Journey
The pain is endless
My soul is numb
My heart never fulfilled
The memories cloud my mind
Yesterday wont go away
Tomorrow is more then I can take
Happiness eludes me
Sadness fills my being
The feelings of loneliness overwhelming
Thoughts racing, never stopping
Playing over and over again
Every detail forever more etched
Every touch still felt
Every twisted word still heard
Every tortured secret unraveling
Playing in my mind forever more
Peace is a stranger I have not met
Anger is my best freind
Wasting in my tears
Crying of my fears
Praying for the end
Awaiting life anew
Where pain no longer touches
And tears become a thing of the past
Let me go home and rest
To a place where I can smell the rain
Let me sleep
Sleep without nightmares of years gone by
Not knowing where Im heading
Time is wasting with my fears
Pain is paralyzing my heart
The weakness is overcoming me
I have endured a lifetime of sadness
Faced evils few will ever know
Seen the bottom of the mountain to many times
Weary from the climb back up
Tired.......my eyes are closing
Weak........my fight has all but vanished
Exhausted...looking for a place to rest
Restless....ready to take the final journey
Wow, that is a powerful poem. Well written. You have a lot of talent. Never stop writing. Thanks for posting :)
It all of its radiant beauty,
"The Journey" explicates the
reality of pain; and the yearning
of the human soul for emotional
purgation and healing even if:
"Every touch still felt
Every twisted word still heard
Every tortured secret unravelling
Playing in my mind..."
Yet we long for peace and
joy even through riddles
and tears. And in every
sense of humaneness we
crave for an end. But hen,
may we find this end with
a new begining within the
caring depths of Jo-anne's
"The Journey" in all of its
surviving purgation of the
emotion and healing bounties
unbound...
I am so enriched to have read
"The Journey". And would surely
be back to its welcoming paths
again and again, and again...
