On the way to

finding peace,

I tripped

I fell off course.

I really wasn’t sure

how to get back on track

I had come too far

to let myself

fall back again.

It was like

all of the decisions

have been made

I can’t turn back anymore.

As much as I wanted

to think differently,

every word I wrote

seemed fraudulent.

I had no recourse

no one to ask.

I only had myself,

and I was the hardest

one to convince.

I could keep on trying,

but it all seemed

to be in vain.

I came to terms

with having to stop

and that’s where I landed

today.
