Standing

As the icy wind blows I stand facing it along with all the dangers and perils facing. With my troubles giving it strength.
I press on into the ghostly dead night. With only my scars of the past and present to comfort me. Knowing the future will only bring more.
Leaving the people who have come and gone behind me never to look back. With a dark past leading the way into a bright future.
Knowing looking back will only bring darkness to block my path. Keeping me at bay.
With nothing to guide me but a misguided heart and open mind. With accepting the fact I stand alone in this cold world.
At times I sit and watch the world pass me by. Writing my sorrows in the wind.
Which makes it so icy and I continue to press on.
