How did I get here?
How did I get in this mess?
Breathing musty air
and surrounded by darkness.
It was a choice
I made and a step I took.
An adventure –
and I just wanted to look.
But now I’m here
so far from home, so far from home,
and I don’t want to be
in the dark alone, on my own.
I’m so tired
and I don’t want to roam
anymore.
How do I get back home?
I stopped in my tracks
the first step was the hardest –
I turned around
put my back to the darkest.
I made the choice
to look for sunlight.
The path I was on
wasn’t for me – it wasn’t right.
Until at last
I saw sunlight, felt the sun
I’m where I want to be.
I don’t want to run, I am done.
I can rest
and stay in this direction
heading home
under the warmth of the sun.
