I wrote this a long time ago, it's not very poetic and doesn't quite sit where I'd like my work to be, but, it was written for a reason. Thoughts of redoing it crossed my mind, but that would stain what once was written, best left alone. As this world I no longer live in I feel I'm unable to add to it. The title is the only thing new, as it never had one. The topic, well, life's struggle I suppose.

Any review will be answered and very much appreciated.

"A once trodden Path"

If I ever stopped to think what I've lost, I'd cry a lot

They're many things that have slipped my grasp, I've lost a lot

I cling onto the things that are not mine to keep, may be this is why my heart is so weak

Living in a dream world, standing as a boy, playing with life, as if it were nothing but a toy

The pain inside my head gets stronger everyday, dreaming dreams won't help it go away

Playing a part each day, living through life, as nothing more than an actor

Hoping one day, that someone throws in life's anchor

All the things I've ever loved have always taken out of me what is good

Forever down on luck, life's pack of cards, has always dealt me the joker

Trying to find a foothold, is like stopping being a smoker

Life can be cruel with nothing to cling onto, there's always a glint of light at everyone's tunnel

It's hard to find the tracks that's usually my trouble

So if you ever see a lost soul, remember it could be you, a helping hand is all that is needed

To give life to a person, as life's too short to be left bleeding
