and life goes on.

I walk with a smile painted over my face because I believe I am to walk this earth in a joy. That no matter where life takes me, I am to walk with my head held high, even if pain sits on my shoulders. But nobody sees my pain, no body feels my pain, no body hears my cries at night because when I wake the sun still shines on a cloudy day. The mornings start a new day, and when my eyes open from a stormy night, the arrow on the clock only moves in one direction.
To love is to be human, but love is just a four letter word, that exists far beyond understanding. I am just as extraordinary as he, and just as beautiful as she, but no one seems to notice because the mirror has become the truth.
I see beauty in all that is life, and life in all that is death. The wind keeps blowing, the oceans are blue, the seasons change, & the clock doesn’t stop ticking.
I rise to walk the path I believe I am destined to run. But I am too afraid to run, too afraid that one day, I’ll run out of breath, out of time, out of life, & love.
I’ve lost what love, but love comes back, takes my hand & shows me the way.
Days, I lose myself in thought, & nights, I forget that I have somewhere to be.
One day, I’ll take off my shoes, & walk across the river; Someone is waiting for me on the other side.
