Journey

This imaginary life

We built

Buildings

Positions and bills

I’m in no position

To lie to you

Blessed

With the opportunity

To have learned

What’s important

What’s not

One day

We will no longer

Take a breath here

And that

Is just the beginning

Where you spend

The rest of your days

Once you awaken

A second time

Matters

The way you live

On this earth now

Matters

Time and time

Again

I’ve tried

To take matters

Into my own hands

But

Gods plan

Its perfect

No matter how much

Of a mess it may seem

I am

A spiritual being

Having a human experience

I own nothing here

I want nothing here

But to love

And love hard

Bring someone to god

Learn to live on

After the burial

You see

We’re not

So different

You bleed

And so do I

Both laugh

Then we cry

Then we smile

On this journey

I’ve walked miles

Past a lot of pain

Future unknown

So much

That I cant explain

I may not

Know everything

But I realize

Why I came

To this realm

With a longing

To be heard

To be felt

To be held

When all else

Is lost

Through what one

Deems right

Or wrong

Sometimes

Each other

Is all

We have left.
