Marathon of life

Weighted down.
Running a marathon.
Ahead
Stumble
Confusion
Behind.

Exhausted,
Where is the finish line?

EMOTIONS

Driving, emotionally exhausted, in the dark. Recklessly, my eyes have left the road - lost in the flickering lights scattered behind the roadside trees. The farther up the mountain, the more magical the scene. My chest yearns for comfort; an urge to be home suddenly arises.

I just want to be home. Then suddenly completly lost in the world, I wonder where that exactly is.
In Surrey where I was raised, where my parents and siblings and longest friendships abide?
The island where I  grew up and found a family in my friends?
The Beulens` household where I found close family in my extended family and unabiding happiness?
Or to the warmth of my new, shared, bed?
