As we both look back on this road
That we have taken
I start questioning the reason
Why this path was chosen for us
And even though the answer was clear
We still kept on searching
Like if the answer was hidden beyond human reach
And it’s sad to see
Those who we relied so much on
Ended up pushing us away
Because of a crutch
That has stayed with us for so long
As they pointed and laughed at us
For going in a direction that wasn’t accurate
Tossing their stones
Scarring and injuring us both physically and mentally
Deep down we knew
We had to keep pushing forward
Despite having the weight of the world on our backs
While it was a path that had been used many times
Very few dared to travel the same road
We had been walking on for so long
While the world was walking on a road without any end
We both knew that the road we were on
Would eventually come to an end
And it would be then
Where you and I could finally smile
Turning our tormented days
Into experiences that would make us stronger
Transforming us into a light in a darkened world
It was this gift you gave us
That would help us to have more empathy
For those who were about to start their journey
On the same road we had taken.
