How? Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Somewhere down the road I lost my way
The bright colorful patches of autumn leaves disappeared
And in its place something new I can’t describe sprung up

So, like a fool I continue to walk the path
Turning back now would confuse me even more
Like a fool I somehow convince myself this is ok

Somewhere down the road I found myself crying
For nothing at all really
Just crying

I looked over my shoulder and could see the foliage
But, like the moon, it was farther than it looked
It wouldn’t merely be a sprint and I would be back in my safe haven

Somewhere down the road I was lead astray
Somehow I believed the lies
And ended up here

Somewhere through the depression and anger
Came someone new
Someone different

Naturally, I didn’t like them
Naturally, I wanted the old me back
Naturally, I came to terms with it

Somewhere down this road
I’ll fix it all

Somewhere down this road
I’ll make myself okay

Of I don’t fall for your lies again
