On Coming This Far

This road keeps on through day and night,
Further now from habits formed,
The vehicle that carries me
Brings me closer to my harm.

I know that as these wheels turn more
The pain I must endure nears.
This is the only way to form
New strength against my in-bred fears.

As questions form about the task
And fears return to whisper doubts,
I force myself to trust to fate
That from comfort drew me out.

This road keeps on and I with it,
Growing better day by day;
Though at this point I’m fighting still,
I look with longing down the way.
