Could this be failure ?

to know everyday they exist below potential
found oceans of untruth on fumes…
able to ignite at any second
consumed…

far from fragile
unfilled
set to a course
damaged
almost beyond repair
looking down the path
its dark and appears to go nowhere
still its the path…

where to walk
lined with one to many forks, all types of decisions
wrong ones at the time seemed right
hidden in days
so they had to walk at night
better but bitter, stressing but calm
needing more than a shoulder to lean upon
seeking a river to travel by…

life is up then easy down
soft soil or rock, loose gravel…
sand
the part of them that adds up to make them man
make whole…
express their sides take, support, encourage
listen…

no matter how their stride
remain at their side
help them cultivate from inside…

this is the person they are
the person we have known
it’s a personal change…

that they can not accomplish
on their own…
