Endless Road Poem by Casey Gochnour

And as I continue to walk down this broken road,
I won’t forget what was lost.
It’s like I’m moving without breathing,
Life goes on, but at what cost?

Walking alone down this broken road for eternity,
Wishing I had someone to hold my hand for me.
It just seems like I’m walking on so endlessly,
So give me company.

What’s the point of this endless daze?
Always with my mind in a haze.
It’s like the cloud is stuck around my mind,
But I don’t mind.

I’m fine in my head, I just do what it said,
Whatever keeps me smiling when I finally hit the bed.
But now it seems lost in endless thought,
Forgetting all that it was once taught…

It all just seems pointless, none of this brand new,
As if it wasn’t something that I already knew.
I’ve known it once and I never let go,
I knew that this is all that life had to show.

So I’ll walk down this broken road,
And I won’t forget what was lost.
It’s like I’m moving without thinking,
Life goes on, but at what cost?

One foot in front of the other, forever.
And ever and ever, and ever and ever,
I’ll just keep staring ahead to the ground,
Never seeing anything else or hearing any sound.

It breaks me down, it tears me apart,
And I’ll forever have this pain deep in my heart.
But if this is truly how I will live,
Then I will,
Live.
