Wilderness

Strange thoughts come into my head when I am bored.

This road I've never walked;

This trail I've never strolled.

Into hope I never bought;

But my hand, I'll never fold.

So here am I today,

by myself but not alone.

In this wilderness I'll stay,

until the day I make my home.

Sunshine up above,

and the ground beneath my soles.

But my soul will never love

any as much as you who stole

my heart from my chest,

where it was beating so fine.

But then you broke the best

man you'll ever hope to find.

And so here I am,

out here in the wild.

I haven't any plans

or any real reason to smile.

But I continue on,

this pathway I will follow

until my time has come

and the sun rises o'er tomorrow.

I really like this piece. Its something sooooo simple that everyone can relate to. Everyone can say that there was a time when they had nothing to live for. No reason to believe. But yet we keep on breathing. Job well done my friend.

When you don't know what you can do other than to keep walking.. This was a nice poem, good job.
