My life has been a struggle most days
The path was cluttered and most times, hard to see
Sometimes wandering aimlessly
Never going anywhere but in circles
Over this past week I have realized some things
Felt these things deep inside of who I am
What we think is real and what is are two different things
That the path was not cluttered I was just afraid of that first step
Knowing my happiness is up to me is something I now feel
It floods my heart and eases the pain in my soul
The things that are important are what was laid before me
Unable to see them because I was not sure what I was searching for
As I put the western states in my rear view mirror
I left a part of me behind that day
My heart aches for what I felt while I was there
I cannot explain it as today I know and today I feel
What I have always dreamed of, waits for me
Calling me loudly now as it is holding my heart in it's embrace
Waiting for me to return and continue my journey farther west
I cry back to it now, I am coming, I need you now
I know this as well as I know anything else in life
