Survival

Weary is the traveler,

(who finds themselves alone)

on the narrow paths of life.

Oh so far from home.

So burdened by the weight of time,

(an anchor made of stone)

it takes away a vibrant hope

like flesh away from bone.

Torn apart by endless mile,

(with nothing left in sight)

a hero must continue on

to carry on despite.

Only they can face this test,

(to stand up tall and fight)

when no other can be found

You must be the light.
