Dead-end
the dark night breeze threatens to eject me off the face of the planet
while violently slashing the hair into my face
this deserted and meandering road I walk upon
hurts my bare feet as I lead the way of broken hearts and souls
to a land full of shining sun and placid lakes of rapture
as every rock stabs my sole I drop a tear of hurt onto the asphalt
wincing with pain but continuing on, I motion with my hand to follow
and hopefully and bravely, I blindly walk forward not knowing what lay
all these tortured depending on my slightest judgment…
the grueling problems we run away from cackle through the trees
haunting us and taunting us
memories of my so-called friends remind me of the recent loneliness
that I unfortunately discovered
I've got to keep strong for the world so they won't break down
the tragedy that could happen if everyone knew my weaknesses
so boldly I proceed down this worn path
confidently whistling a tune that I can't quite figure out
wholly trying to block out the sounds of ache that pierce my ears
I can feel the end nearing in my bones and excitedly race around the corner
only to find that what I see is nothing but a dead end
and as I turn around to sadly tell my disappointed loved ones we've failed and are lost
I find that nobody was following me in the first place
