Last Mile

Walking through this wasteland

trudging through this dirt

I try to look, for my dream

But my mind remains inert.

I look towards the horizon

Face the rising sun

I may feel tired and beaten

But my journey has just begun.

All around me, broken pieces

These shards litter my path,

Of broken dreams, dying souls

Will I survive the aftermath?

All of a sudden, I'm jolted awake

As the truth, I realise

My life is the dream I get to live

All other dreams, are lies.

Is this my final destination?

Is this the answer I sought?

Have I unraveled the mystery?

Is this my dream or not?

Have i found what I was looking for,

Or was my search futile?

Just one way to find out

I've got to walk another mile.
