The Longer Path 

For me I heard  

The longer path  

might heal the wounds  

No shortcut ever could.  

I breathe and break,  

But this time not my spirit.  

And inch by inch approach—  

I breach the walls  

To hold a torch  

And bring some light  

Inside,  

To clear the inner plight.  

I break the walls  

To try and get outside  

A soul too scared to speak  

Too scared to walk for it might trip  

Over the giant leap  

It took.
