THOUSAND MILES

 

I walked a mile today 

hoping a fresh breathe will make my heart to stay 

lots of hopeless hope 

these things my heart can’t cope

I took a step in haste 

my lips soiled with paste 

toe nails twitched and torso bare 

nothing else left for me to fear

I walked a mile in my shoes, it didn’t hurt 

blisters in my leg, a awful lot

I learnt a great ordeal 

It now hurts, my will 

I needed it, so I took a rest 

hope despairing, is this a test?

my sanity’s at sea, I’m at a bank 

imbedded within me is a cursed mark 

a thousand miles I’d walk to save my soul 

my sanity already rings dim low 

my abysmal depth calls for sobriety 

hey! I am not a nonentity
