Walk On

When the life you know is shattered

And you’re left wounded by the blast

When everything that once was whole

Is scattered in broken pieces

Walk on

 

When pain is tearing you apart

And yet you cannot shed a tear

When people talk in whispered tones

And all you want to do is scream

Walk on

 

When the ground gives way beneath you

And you’re swept out to the ocean

When chaos swirls like tempest clouds

And the rain is unrelenting

Walk on

 

When you’re cheated on and lied to

By the one who said they loved you

When the kiss you thought was tender

Leaves a bitter trace of poison

Walk on

 

When your inner world has frozen

Yet the world outside keeps turning

When the sun still shines and friends laugh

Yet all you feel is dark and sad

Walk on

 

When the one you shared your life with

Is taken from your warm embrace

When all that’s left is a dull ache

And the icy hand of sorrow

Walk on

 

When you’re duty bound and shackled

And there’s no way out of the maze

When obligations weigh you down

And expectations tie you up

Walk on

 

When you’re running life on empty

And exhausting all your reserves

When all you want to do is sleep

Or curl up in a ball and hide

Walk on

 

When each morning begs a reason

For why you should get up at all

When each evening brings a shadow

Of haunted dreams and memories

Walk on

 

When goals can no longer inspire

And hopes are tainted with despair

When anywhere seems much too far

And your biggest wish is just to stop

Walk on
