There was no one to tell me
Or show me how to be
Always searching for that someone
That would truly help me see…
All the goodness that surrounds me
Not just our human flaws
The possibilities life can give you
Not just life’s closing doors.
There was no one to explain my path
Nor show which road is best
Each day was just another day
No different than all the rest…
Trying to avoid the fights
That came most every day
Never knowing quite what to do
So I would choose to run away.
There was always new foes to fight
And finally nowhere left to run
I knew I had to make a stand
But then all life came undone…
For I could fight and beat my foes
It seems my fighting skills were good
Instead of running I learned and fought
And beat each foe I could.
Now where has all this left me?
Fighting battles in every war
Chalking up another win
Understanding less.. not more…
Claiming sleep that never calms me
Dreams that take control
A feeling that I missed a life
A life I did not know.
