Dusty Poems 10

Realizing your loss of innocence
Thankful that it’s gone
Regretful that it left you
Wondering what went wrong
Surrendering to another path
Following the unknown
Sensing your own helplessness
Longing for your home
Let go of the hand that leads you
Hear the voice that heeds you
Take a tangled path on back
Travel it all alone
Fight the battles along the way
Trying harder every day
And once you finally reach the voice
Looking all around
You’ll see that what you found
Was yourself screaming for you all along
