Tribulation

Contributed by spike on Tuesday, 22nd September 2009 @ 07:05:44 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



The path I took
was less the road travelled
as the one that unravelled;
before I even found my feet
I was bogged in thick mud to my shins
that sucked and pulled the heat
and vigour from my legs.
Losing boots, I managed barefoot
until the burrs and shards of stone
pierced my skin and hobbled me.
A wind arose that built from gentle breeze
to howling gale, pushing rain and sleet
under my coat till I was soaked
through and wretched of heart.
Without food or warm liquor
I was forced to traverse the final
miles on my hands and knees, in and out
of a delirium that almost claimed my sanity.




And then the bloody bus was late.
Again.

(I swear I should work from home)

Oh, goodness...

I was sucked in and then had to laugh my butt
off at the end at the reality. I've been there a
time or twelve, so I can totally relate.

Great write!

Be well,
