Imagine yourself standing at the end of a road
In the distance you can see someone coming
Faintly, you see the outline of a human
You begin to smile, hoping this is finally the end
Then the noise begins
It breaks the silence like thunder
Every doubt you ever had creeps in
Whispers in your ear that you aren’t worth anything
In the other ear are all the people
That told you or showed you that you weren’t worth loving
So in one ear you have doubt, the other slamming doors.
The person is still coming
It is taking a long time for them to walk to you
When silence finally takes over and you try to compose yourself
So you can look excited.
This time, the person that is coming toward you speaks
You hear every bad thing they ever told you
Every time they were angry at you
With maybe a little embellishment
Then doubt whispers in your ear
That if you allow them to come
They will just leave you.
Then again you get a moment of silence
The person looks further away when you focus in
It makes you wonder if they will ever get to you
So you watch them to see if they are even walking
Or maybe they are just standing there waiting for you
To come to them?
The hell is it with this road?
