You yourself and your tears

sb123's picture

A windy road that leads to know where
No one knows exactly where it goes, a road that has no steps, no signs
Only dead ends is where you will lie
No help, no friend ,no one there by your side
You have to figure it out alone of you may die
There are no colors, there are no shapes
It’s all black and white
You don’t know what you may face
As your cry alone under the dark sky.
Though it’s not night
Its clear broad day
But the sun is gone, it’s packed away
When you cry your tears make rain
The sound of the rain helps your pain
You know you have to get up and go on
The storm starts to come but you are strong
You push and pull your self through the night
And soon ahead you see a light
You have won you have concord your fears
The only thing that helped you
Was you, yourself, and your tears
