Back Home

Take a look at me in all my frailty.
With a shaking voice I try to speak
and say the words which express my thoughts.
When I can't seem to find the right words
I try to hide my clumsy attempt.
I just can't fail on this test,
there's too much at stake.
My insides turn to ash, so slow.
And I just seem to collapse.
So I try to regain focus and set my mind straight.
I know the path before me
but to walk it is a totally different thing.
So I take it step for step,
considering all I've done this life.
And try to find way back home
away from all the struggle and the strife....
