One More Miles

When the road seems dark

and the storm begins to hound at you

thunder after thunder that forced your eyes to rain a drop or two

when all hope is by the edge

the least of your pain is your head

when your life seems pointless

it becomes very easy for you to lose your focus

Everything becomes personal

A little banter and you feel insulted

the available ears doesn’t seem to listen

so you become reckless and your attitude careless

You ponder about death but it is not an option

You start to think to yourself why life isn’t fair

you somehow have the strength but the energy has disappeared

the storm gets heavier and no one seems to care

you start to hope for light from any angle

“You will get a different mind frame when you have been through the jungle”

Your stress turns into depression

A little misunderstanding turns into aggression

you begin to lose all hopes on salvation

now your daily routine is just going through the motion

where every second of the day you are in your emotions

You should not count what you have lost

For counting will not alter your past

The future is unknown

A reality that awaits to be foretold

Shall Ye keep Ye head high, Ye has one more mile to go

With patience comes perseverance

but to begin with, your situation needs your wholehearted acceptance

if whatever pain is temporary

it is only right you strive relentless for your happiness

because this is your journey, and you have one more mile to go
