My Long Walk
I walk down that old dirt road
Nothing but silence, and a warm breeze
I feel the warm sun on my skin,
And the dirty, wind in my long blonde hair
I wear my usual shorts, and T-shirt
I walk alone
With no one behind or infront of me
No shoes on my small dirty feet,
I feel the dirt in my toes,
The wind on my legs,
The warm sun on my body,
And the beautiful sunshine as I close my eyes and think...
I think about my future
About, my horrible past
And, about the way I could change my outcome
Change it into something extraordinary.
I then stop, open my eyes, and breathe
The sun so bright I can hardly see
The wind so nice and smooth, it's great to breathe
I begin to walk again
As I walk down that lonely dirt road,
I remember the very few good times I've had
I start to close my eyes,
Take another deep breath.
I remember when i was a little girl,
Too short to sit at the table
Too young to understand the word different
Too boyish to play with dolls
My dad used to pick me up,
And swing me like a pendulum and,
That night my beautiful mom would sing to me like a choir of angels
Sing me right to sleep, and help me have the best dreams
Again I stop, and open my eyes
I look forward, backward, and all around me
I see no one and,
I think about what my mom would sing, so, I began to do the same
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
And then I turn around
And take a deep breath,
I put my left foot out....
And begin to walk.
