I Travelled A Road
By: Christine McFarlane


I travelled

A road

That I thought

No one knew

Except me

A road

Filled

With challenges

Dips and curves

No one

Should ever have to encounter

Within
Their lifetime

abandonment

loss

suicide attempts

you name it
the challenges
were there

The

 Questioning

Of who I am

And what I wanted 

To become

Yet I turned

The corner

And ran into

You

I travelled

A road

That I thought

No one else knew 

Except me

Yet

There you were

With open arms

And these wise words

To impart

I am here

To tell you

You are going

To be okay

As I stood before you
I crumpled

And broke down

Crying

I travelled

A road

That I thought

No one else knew

Except me

Yet I turned

The corner

And ran into 

You

And you
Told me

You are going 

to be okay

Its these words

And your actions

That helped me

To believe once more

And I know now

Yes

I will be okay.

Thank you
