	Journey (part 1) Weight in Gold
	Journey part 1: Weight in Gold Forget about me - and what I’ve done I've had my fill, tears drained of fun I've been laughed at - the butt of every joke Fought every battle just to end up broke I'm looking on, the distance now gone I've got no aim, no inspirational bond Nothing holds me together, no place for me to be But the distant past and open arms of obscurity I struggle to think - how did this happen? I took a lap of honour then everyone stopped clapping Who I am inside was someone filled with pride Something no one else saw, in my minds eye - not the outside I'm just a number, a digit, a fraction A fragment of a futile yet stubborn chain reaction And now I really want to scream Always a side thought - just a waste to be seen Year after year I held back my fears Just locked away my ghosts while I had voice to cheer But I've become hoarse by a coarse outline of a heart I gave it all and nothing came back - even respect is something I lack Half of what I have is half of what I was The gods sealed my fate in less than a coin toss I don't believe nor have the confidence to succeed Victory upon victory couldn't cover the Achilles heel So wrap me up, carry me away I've had enough of this charade and shroud of a day I'll stop smiling and pretend its clear sailing It’s not a cab but redemption I’m hailing It springs to mind expectation weights me down To the bottom of a derelict ocean - and I still don't drown Everything I've had what I've won and can hold In life I'm finished being last, I'm not worth my weight in gold (~note from the writer~) I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to write this, it was more than 3 years ago now. After I read it even I was taken aback so I renamed it journey part 1 and set about writing a follow-up because I was clearly unhappy with my own words. The follow-up is known as The Redemption Song (or journey part 2) and can be read as chapter 12
