Basra Road

They say life is like a journey with all the stops along the way.

In my case I’m still on a journey with no stops whatsoever, as I see no light at the end of the tunnel as the memories and the scars are so deep. There's no fresh air anymore, no room to breathe.

The sayings is as follows; Life's like a Box of Chocolates you never know what you gonna get; It's like a guessing game. That's what it was like on the Basra Road, our nickname for it was "Quality Street" as there were so many of them in pieces lying around you didn't know what you were gonna get.
