My journey has been hard and my search endless
That of which I seek proves to be dauntless
It flanks my efforts pushing me down
Disoriented I turn to react yet it is gone
Though I cannot see it I choose to pursue
I feel it’s presence taunting my every breath
I feel it’s laughter harassing my very soul
This realm of chaos has driven many astray
Punishing what I have vowed to protect
Helping that of what I stand against
Yet here I still travel, humbled and broken
And although it may prove fruitless I continue
Every day pushing on and seeking that,
That which proves to be dauntless



 'Cause if the face inside can't see the light I know
I'll have to walk alone
And if I walk alone to the other side I know
I might not make it home
(creed)

This is wonderful baerlon...I love it! I really relate to this...so very much. I've never been able to describe it though. Well done.

bae..this is excellent..

"I feel it’s presence taunting my every breath
I feel it’s laughter harassing my very soul
This realm of chaos has driven many astray
Punishing what I have vowed to protect
Helping that of what I stand against"...

I love this verse...
like D.E. just said...you have well expressed these feelings we all have, but most cant put in to words...poetic ones at that..great job, as always
take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

Thank you both, it really means alot that others understand yet in a way i wish others did not.  I know what this feeling is like and would never wish it on others

 There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all
