The Journey
A Poem
I was never the girl to drink the Kool Aid
It never looked that sweet
Don't worry, I'll hold your hand
Keep your eyes always on me
I'll lead the way
Through this maze of a life
You seem to know the way though
As you pull me in so tight
Under the dark hue of the moon
We howl through the night
It feels unsafe sometimes
But I can't walk away, try as I might
I'm drawn to you
Like a string on a yo yo
You yank me back before I hit the ground
And you never let me go
Where did you come from
I was walking this path alone
There was a person meant for me
A place I could call home
It was never about the altar
It was about everything that comes after
I have jumped without a plan
Into a life full of laughter
You know me, my love
I'm you
We move to our own beat
And you never drank the Kool Aid too
This is no fairy tale
And that is for sure
I'm all heart though, my love
And I'm all yours
