I’ll Meet You There

It’s been
a thankless ask
one of my own making
I set the task
breaking the same
sticks to beat my back
as to bear my weight
taking the hard road
when choices framed
no practical limitations
when freedom to choose
was a right to abuse.

I’ve reviewed
the path I chose
confused I’ve come
this far from a vague
sense of direction
unclear where I’m going
only knowing
with utter assurance that
I’ll meet you there.
