splintersandmilkshakes:

I have meandered through too many roads on this stint,

both traveled and untraveled.

Now I am completely lost

in a state of limbo feeling frustrated and unraveled.

The advice to “follow my heart” I cannot honor 

for it was pulverized into pieces eons ago.

My instincts are shot as well

as its heeds I have ignored 

unsychronizing my inner ebb and flow.

Uncertain what the answer is

or what direction I should take.

I am hoping if I write enough

my own road I will make.

Thus, I implore you to bear with me on this journey

through these mangled words I timidly bestow.

And perhaps I will find comfort through these pages

eventually allowing this dark soul

to be guided by her inner glow.

The Write Way
