Journey

While the road may be flat
The journey is always uphill
That spiritual metaphor sometimes mistaken for a curse

If it were easy, it would be done
If it were impossible, it could never be dreamt
If It is ignored, it will die

There is something in our difference
That makes us fear
Something beautiful unlike ourselves

There is something in our difference
That I have fallen in love with
A delicate orphan left on the porch of the world
