We get locked into our ways.Sometimes we need help to step away from the highway we are on |
The Highway In my life I have people who Believe that it is thier way or The Highway. Often it has One lane and no exits to be seen. The highway far above There is a desert far below. No exits to be seen but I can see someone wave to me. Is it just a trick of my mind? Yet again someone waves to me. I am reminded of the highway. The only way I know. I am reminded of the scary desert below. Is there someone Anyone who can change my path. I need to stop. Stop my brain. I stop and I can see no exit I look into the danger of an Endless lonely empty desert But I can see a small sign. A stranger holds it up high. I struggle to see it, read it Your life is yours and your way is clear The path you need and want is near. Walk or run to the oasis the choice is yours. See the signs please don't be blind, glance back. The highway is long the exit far. Again and again I see signs, I want to go back to the life that I knew, so easy to do. Freedom, so close I taste it. One foot in front of the other. Forward not back is never easy But in the distance I can see Many people and many signs They show love and happiness. I continue to move forward and No one is there anymore Is it a mirage driven by pain but there are signs on the ground. We have followed our path We left this for you so you Can follow your own pathway. I read the signs that mattered to me. You have conquered your fear Enjoy your Freedom! Be free. Glance back don't stare back Your strength is earned not given. Give kindness don't demand it. Help when you can but not if you can't. Work hard just because you can. Travel the path or show others how to find a way to their own path. |
