Sometimes I feel<\/p>\n
Old<\/p>\n
Weathered<\/p>\n
An empty house on a desert floor<\/p>\n
Looking to mountains for answers<\/p>\n
The wind for escape<\/p>\n
To sky for purpose<\/p>\n
To clouds for a cleansing rain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Paint peeling<\/p>\n
Windows broken<\/p>\n
Walls crumbling<\/p>\n
My soul visible<\/p>\n
Exposed<\/p>\n
Perhaps once I was someone’s dream<\/p>\n
Someone’s home<\/p>\n
Someone’s purpose<\/p>\n
But now I am weathered<\/p>\n
Beaten by elements beyond my control<\/p>\n
Abandoned<\/p>\n
Forgotten<\/p>\n
Sand blasted by life<\/p>\n
Still standing<\/p>\n
On a weak foundation<\/p>\n
Frail and fragile<\/p>\n
But strong in who I am<\/p>\n
Proud of what I once was<\/p>\n
