if only there was a way

times have been hard
now they only just get harder
when there has been so much tears
all i long to hear is laughter
the roads have been bumpy
and the journey, a long way home
if only there was a way.
the storms have become heavier
shedding drops of rains like pellets
the waves have become stronger
driving my little raft further into the dark seas
how do i sail home?
if only there was a way.
there has been no joy since
it feels like forever when my lights went out
leaving my world in darkness
and nothing has been the same since.
but if only there was a way
that i could look back without the pain,
rise to a day without the rain,
and share a smile without the shadow.
then i would indeed have found my home.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

deep inside, we're all lost. only when we find inner peace, are we truly home.
