There will be days

 

I know that there will be days

where falling seems

like the only option.

I know there will be weeks

where blue

is the only colour 

of my mood

and the world

will be painted

in greyscale fog

to cloud my view.

 

I know there will be

time spent

walking through

those fires again,

Once you've entered,

the hellscape never leaves,

there is no escaping,

the threads that interweave.

 

I know there will be times

when the hill

feels too steep

to climb.

The summit too far for reach.

The vines will pierce my skin

like a human pincushion.

My blood will come rushing

and I'll feel faint.

I'm not a Saint.

I know that at times

I'll stumble,

fall back,

slip into the cracks and fumble.

 

I know there will be pain,

each step will bring new strain,

every thought will rain

like lead weights over my head

and there will be times

when no shelter will I find.

I'll just have to accept the way

the streams race,

flowing down my face.

 

But I know.

That whatever life can throw

I will always have 

the lessons learned,

guidance earned, 

to find a way through,

the right path to turn.

When dying 

would have been easier,

I did the unthinkable

and survived.
