I walked along this path
of darkness for so long,
lost amongst the shadows
and the skeletons of the past.
They trap me in their lies
and their empty promises are binding,
while the memories are gripping
and the scars are torturous.
I wanted to be free
but took the path that looked easy,
unfortunately for me,
looks can be deceiving.
For as I became entangled in this web
of a fiery path to hell.
I began to finally realize
the foolish mistake I made,
since what's easy,
isn't always good,
and what's fun,
isn't always right,
and I had turned my back on
the only truth that's real.
And like a candle tht's re-lit
I fell my heart begin to change,
and I'm turning back to the path
I know once more
and the only path that's right.
Author notes
I wrote this rather quickly so it is not really meant to be a good poem but rather a quick way to express and release my thoughts that I had building up inside of me. I needed to get them out so I could make sense of what I was thinking about and feeling, and because of that, this is what I came up with.
Please tell me what you think
