Long twisted path my life has been
Emotion’s been my road
Battles, triumphs, failures, and pain
But a bit of what I’ve known
I fought just to come to this world
Struggling to just begin
Yet there have also been some times
I’ve sought for it to end
I’ve loved, and lost, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve viewed the world from different sides
I’ve raged at heaven far above
I’ve sought out hell to follow love
But truth be known it’s all of this
That’s lead to where I am
I know that I have made mistakes
For some I should be damned
I love with everything I am
For those that I hold dear
I fight with vengeance, laugh, and cry
And hide away my fears
I’ve loved, and lost, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve viewed the world from different sides
I’ve raged at heaven far above
I’ve sought out hell to follow love
My pain is written on my face
My voice is raw with years
And though I wouldn’t trade my life
It has been paved with tears
My body covered now with scars
Some new and some quite old
Each has a story of its own
Just waiting to be told
Author notes
ADEMON
Compassionate and true to word
Yet full of pain and not quite vain
a pensive personality
with far more layers than most see...
