Destiny's Trail (Raw Version) Poem by cathy clough

Seeking my destiny's trail,
I walk against the crowd,
Ensnared by old memories
fears hunting me down.

causing me to pause
to repair my heart's incision,
refusing to look back,
as i cut without care to precision.

For I am now the noose, the rapist
the glint on a moonlit knife,
I now control the fate
of your infernal life.

Eerie capering revelers surround
They all lack any vision,
Caring to just feed off the weak
who know only indecision.

Revelers prey on these souls
wanting to be their candyman,
no other trades to ply,
in this barren forsaken land.

Relationships rarely last here
just glimpses of what could be.
As I travel through here and look
sad glimpses are all I can see.

Not to be daunted, I go on
still searching my destiny trail's end.
For it may take a lifetime,
or could be just around the bend.
