Somewhere around the bend
My future waits its turn.
I cast my light both far and wide
To see what I can learn.
Out there in the ether
The shadows dance on walls.
The light reveals what I conceal;
All the dark memories I recall.
Sometimes you are with me.
More often I’m alone.
The past is always present
On this journey far from home.
As I slowly make the turn
I face what I most fear;
In this moment of my weakness
I cannot shed a tear.
