Journeys

I’ve been darker than eclipsed nights;

Tried to find my way through the engulfing loneliness.

I’ve fallen off the tracks to the rock bottom,

Been pulled up just to be dropped again.

I inched my way up to a tightrope,

Tip toed my way to perfection.

Painted a mask of happy disposition

Soon melted under pressure

Lost the facade.

I slipped.
I fell.

And somehow,

You caught me.
