Path Taken

Path Taken

Stuck on this path in the dark

Along its edge I try not to fall

So many times has fate tested me

So many times did I skip fate

It’s like the mouth of a lion

Teeth so sharp one bite could end a life

Everything around me is a blur to my eye

Iv fallen into a deep mountain

And over and over I try to get out

Yet each time I’m pulled further down

I hit rock bottom

So here I stand

A door before my eyes

Or a struggle to get out

At this door I ponder

Think of what wonders could be inside

Then fear the same thought

Because I fear what’s inside

At this place I stand

Eyes locked on two paths

One so easy and simple

The other hard long and painful

I’m reaching out my hand

I choose the better path

So righteous with joy

Its love so divine

Its complexity so simple

The choice that I choose is this

One of smiles and laughter

No longer will I drag myself down

Cover what I am with who I’m not

If I can’t be excepted

And she can’t love me for who I am

Why must I be little myself for her

My love is true like an arrow

Faithful and strong

Never will my hand touch another

If I am to you what you are to me

Simple things as this should not matter

This journey I’ve taken

Its darkness so cold and sharp

Has come to its end

Here at the door I stand

It’s time to begin the journey
