The stairs of my life,

The stairs of my life,
They lead to places I dare not go.

The places of my mind,
The places found in the deepest corners.

They show me how I have lived,
They whisper thoughts of death and hate.

The stairs tell me what I am,
They show me who I should be.

They eat away at my heart,
And at my brain slowly leaving me insane.

I feel the pain of those I hurt,
The people I see to the left and to the right.

The wonderful that I slowly turned to hate,
To the left I see my past and to the right I see my future.

These steps take me everywhere,
Except for one that I wish to traverse.

They take me nowhere near the path to leave,
My fate forever to relive my life-both past and future, indeed.
