Walk on

One day,
I walked,
On and on,
Never stopping,
I walked along this road,
A round that ran in a straight line,
Like a rainbow that filled the sky stretched out,
While i walked,
I saw people,
I saw a lady carrying a tiny baby,
That clutched the ladies finger tight,
I saw a young girl,
About ten,
She smiled,
Then ran up to a lady,
The same lady,
Then came a teenager,
About thirteen,
Looking lonely,
With a stack of school books,
Clutched under her arm,
She reminded me of myself,
How i felt,
Just when my mother died,
Then came a yound adult,
With short spiky hair and a baby,
That was how i felt when i had just had my child,
Then came a middle aged person,
Crying,
No one to comfort her,
I wanted to reach out and hug her,
But it was as though,
A glass wall was seperating us,
Then came a 50 year old,
Back hunched over as she stared at the ground,
Only when a coffin passed me that i realised,
I was watching my life,
Watching my life,
The baby,
The girl,
The teenager,
The adult,
The middle aged woman,
The elderly person,
The coffin,
All me,
Just me,
My sorrow's in life,
Un veiled in front of my own eyes,
I sat down on the road and cried,
As i cried i died,
In my soul,
What had i done,
To deserve to see my horrific life,
Over,
It was bad enough living it,
I drowned,
on that road,
The road that my life had walked on,
