just begun

I hear the rain outside my front door
don't go out there
it's too damn rough
it's not like it once was before
any shred of hope
can never be enough
I am standing in the shadows
of a world that never was
standing silent in a meadow
what's the reason
just because
don't leave me broken by the roadside
I know the path I have to run
amid the sad truth of my history
I can't help but think I've just begun
