Roads

This world. This life. This day.
It's all one great journey linked together only to be separated by multiple roads that leave you ignorant to their very existence.
Roads, that engulf the scenery with their winding turns. Thus, making the images around you nothing more then a blur.
Roads, that travel deep through tunnels of darkness. The kind of dark that swallows every ounce of light until you find you have forgotten what lies on the outside.
Roads, that separate from the places we know and the people who know us.
Instead of being a part of their lives that was firmly cemented, you find yourself simply passing through.
Like a guest at a quaint little bed and breakfast or a quick stop for coffee in a highway rest area. Wherever the venue, you are on the road that takes you out just as quickly as it brought you in.

And then there are roads that we know like the back of our hand.
Where the path is beaten down by the footsteps of the wanderer and unexpected events only take place in our imagination.
This road is a safe haven for what is, what has been, and what will always be.

There are roads to closure.
Roads that leave you hopeful and bring forth peace in your life.
There are roads that lead you to the in between of that which is healing and continuing to hold on.
They bring about the internal battles that lie in the conflicting emotions of allowing yourself to move forward and yet, wanting to say put.

Roads....

There are many that we will embark on in this life.
They are all different yet, equally important. They will all lead us to the ultimate destination in which we create who we are.
In which, we create ourselves; yourself; you.
