Stuck between two roads
One of light
One of dark
I must make a choice with heavy heart
What to do
Should I move?
Can’t I stay?
No!
A choice
They ask and it must be clear
Both roads call
Each in one ear
But sick of both
I finally scream
Neither!
Just let me be
And walk away
For now I’m strong
I’ll walk my path
My road to dawn.
