journey without end

woke up this morning, at last to open my eyes
a moment of epiphany...I now realize
I think it is time that I shed this disguise
and quit pretending...let my true self arise

maybe I'll find myself somewhere down that road
unpack my troubles...free myself from this load
or roam aimlessly through this tunnel of pretend
abandon all hope of seeing light at the end

there's no known path to happiness, you see
what pleases you or just what works for me
stumbling along, for we just can't agree
upon a moment of sweet clarity

perhaps it's just as well we don't get along
for the bond between us was never that strong
we both knew our love vows were one great lie
let's escape our prison...away we'll fly

I think you have brilliantly already found yourself, you've admitted to the hardest step, that we don't know whether were 'Arthur or Martha', great write, thanks for sharing dear friend...
