The Road I'm On

By Kellz •

It’s hard at the end of the day When I wonder how my life turned out this way My youth was exuberant, joyful, and bliss What road to happiness did I happen to miss? I must’ve missed the turn-off, cuz I’m at a dead end I’ve endured so much pain, my heart just won’t mend I missed the road for happy, now I’m stuck on despair Alone with no one to turn to, no one to care So I’m going down this road, all alone Never able to go back to the happiness I’ve known Stuck on this one-way, the path is grim I wonder if I’ll ever find my way back again My road winds through pain, strife, sadness, and grief I see glimpses of happiness, but it’s always too brief Just a moment longer, I beg and I plead The joy in my life, I desperately need I embrace it fervently, and soon it is gone Leaving slivers of its warmth to linger on So I’ll stay on this road, no exits up ahead until I find one, this pain I will dread But there’s no way around, just keep going straight I believe a road to happiness must be in my fate So I keep on going, just a little bit longer And through each turn I get a little bit stronger.

I often wonder what rode I took that was so wrong also. I hope you find that road to happiness very soon. And yes, every turn does seem to make a person stronger =) -Cindy

i've always thought happiness was golden, but i soon realised that joy is much more valuable. i say this because once u find joy no amount of hardship will take it away. so i hope u find joy. God bless
