My Passport

I’ve never seen the mountains
or swam in the ocean.
I am not well travelled 
or know the wonders of the world.

but

I’ve seen the abyss of human depravity—
falling,
jumping,
pushing and being pushed.

I understand drowning in emotion—
crying,
regretting,
hating and being hated.

I’ve navigated through all kinds of sins—
misbehaving
deceiving,
corrupting and being corrupted.

and

I know what is beyond rock bottom—
grieving,
begging,
losing and being lost.

My journeys may not be traced on a map,
but my soul has seen a great many things.
