Beside The Road
written by: Anne G
@TheInkTruth
I traveled up and down the road
in search of dreams, success un-gleaned
Misleading, lofty high ideals
conviction blurred, my thoughts confused
I tripped and stumbled on the path
my steps unsure, my mind unclear
With ego bruised, I turned around
somewhere somehow along the way, I had a grand awakening
For what I looked for somewhere else
was always near and nowhere else
The journey’s end, where it began
beside the road, within my reach
