She has been walking this path,
For some time now alone,
And with every step she takes,
She realizes she has grown.
Into what she doesn’t know,
She can only hope to see,
That this lonely path,
May someday turn into ecstasy.
Life is what you make it,
And every day is a gift,
She only hopes to walk
straight,
And not start to drift.
She knows what she wants,
And sees everyday,
That life isn’t always so easy,
To her own dismay.
She continues down the path,
With her head held high,
Trying to stay positive,
Without a tear to cry.
Life is a roller coaster,
An ever winding path,
Yet she can’t seem to get away,
From the sadness and the wrath.
She pretends to be alright,
She hides her fears,
But things aren’t always,
As they seem to appear.
She knows that she is loved,
Her friends and family all
care,
Yet this burden she carries,
She can hardly bear.
She just wants to go back,
To the days of smiles,
Yet she knows that ahead,
Are only more trials.
That’s what life is about,
It’s only a short ride,
And she wants to make sure,
She does nothing but try.
Try to be a better friend,
A better person in this life,
Yet she feels all she gets in
return,
Is nothing but strife.
Trying to make life easier,
For everyone around,
Yet she feels as though,
She still might drown.
She pushes away the pain,
She hides what’s inside,
Even though she feels,
As if she’s already died.
Why can’t it be easy,
Why is everything so hard?
It leaves her weak and
vulnerable,
And her heart has been scarred.
Yet she embraces the pain,
She learns from it all,
She refuses to give up,
She picks herself up when she
falls.
It’s all she can do,
To keep taking it day by day,
To look up to the heavens,
And silently pray.
Pray for happiness,
Pray for love,
And hope that someone is
listening,
From the heavens above.
The path sometimes dips down,
Before climbing back to the
top,
She prays for the strength,
To climb without having to
stop.
It’s worth the effort,
This long and arduous trail,
She just hopes she can make it,
At the top she will prevail.
