Darkness creeps into my soul,
Where I'm going no one knows.
Slowly I walk down this road.

Will it lead to happiness,
Or to a place full of bliss?
Secretly my heart does wish,
Slowly I walk down this road.

Will it lead to more pain,
Re-live the past once again?
Wonder what my footsteps gain,
Slowly I walk down this road.

So the days keep going by.
The sun and moon light the sky.
Father Time keeps watchful eyes,
Slowly I walk down this road.

I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

The possible challenges, prizes, experiences that await down each road are what keep us walking that path. We all want to avoid pain and delve into happiness and bliss. This poem speaks well of the uncertainty with which each step is taken.

Well written! I often at times feel this way. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just find a sign before each road that read "happiness this way" so that there would be no uncertainty or pain in life. But then again, it is the difficult times that make us stronger and growth comes only with the rain, so we must experience both joy and sorrow. The last stanza summed it all up perfectly:
"so the days keep going by
the sun and the moon light the sky
father time keeps watchful eyes
slowly I walk down this road"

Take care,

Aww, this is sad. I can see you with your head down slowly walking that path.

They say happiness is what we make it. Though difficult it's true.
If ya keep your eyes on Jesus,
He'll help you make it through!

Just having gone through a storm, depressing one in life. I can relate to where you're at.
I hope sunshine fills your days soon!

Hugs!
