The Road Inside

The Road Inside

A Poem by Somber Eyes

It's a long road I travel

I'm not sure just where it ends

This great expanse before me

Don't know what lies around the bends


There's trouble in my mind

It's calling to me one more time

Pulling me inside

Don't know if I'll escape

Or is this insanity my fate

Is it too late


I drift along the open road

With no direction and no master plan

I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for

Just some place where I fit in


I've traveled for so many days

And I still feel the pain

It never goes away

Just once I wish that I

Could go back to how it was before

When life meant so much more


I'm screaming from the rooftops

With my back against the wall

I'm drowned out by the city noise

Nobody hears my call

I'm looking at the ground below

There's no one to stop my fall

No one's there to talk me down

There's nobody there at all


I'm walking down this winding road

Wondering where it will take me

Do I have the strength to make it

Or in time will this road break me


There's trouble in my mind

It's calling to me one more time

Pulling me inside

With no place for me to hide

Don't know if I will escape

Or is this insanity my fate

Tell me now, is it too late

I'm afraid it's far too late

Please tell me it's not too late
