Weary on a road that's much-traveled
Wanting to leave the path for another
Wounded by ever-present brambles 
Wary from constant fear 

Sore from the toil the road has lent 
Sweating from the labor I give
Shaking my head in distress
Seeing no way out and no way near. 

Broken from the twisted world
Battered by the storms 
Beaten by the futile fighting
Breathing hard and sucking air. 

Suffering that has to end
Shaking that won't stop
Seething anger haunting me
Shallow happy feelings there. 

Beyond the pain inside
Beauty lies far down deep
Breath of life invades my soul
Buried horrors in the dirt. 

Whole again, my heart can be
Woes will all be crushed
Wasted moments be restored
Wellspring of life drowning the hurt.
