A Walk of Life
From innocent to trusting
To bright-eyed and determinedFrom promise to commitment
To structured and reliable
From loyalty to dedication
To misguided and disillusioned
From achievement to excellence
To judged and accused
From exhausted to depleted
To selective and ardent
From betrayal to untruth
To values and beliefs
From abstract to surreal
To grounded and decisive
From speechless to shocked
To rational and dissociative

From betrayal to untruth
To values and beliefs
From abstract to surreal
To grounded and decisive
From speechless to shocked
To rational and dissociative
From confusing to stunned
To directive and stoic

To driven and elevated
From sadness to sorrow
To defiance and choice
To directive and stoic
From outraged to offended
To driven and elevated
From sadness to sorrow
To defiance and choice
From excluded and expelled
To diversion and projection
From distant to forgotten
To homegoing and remembrance
I am still
Still I am
On a road less travelled
In the light of the Sun and the Moon
Life goes on, I go on
Never lost, always found
About the Author
After 2020 rewrote my life when medical challenges brought my professional career to a close, I shifted focus to a purpose-driven life. Now dedicated to personal development and reflective expression, I believe that while we don't always choose our opening lines, we always hold the pen for the chapters that follow.
