This is my most recent outing. I wrote this for my friend and me. We've both been presented with the same situation but in different scenarios. So hopefully you like it. I would also like to ask for suggestions on a title. The working title for it is "Damn Skippy" because for the first time ever I haven't been able to come up with one lol. Enjoy!
Decisions, decisions,
Confusion coming around,
My lost identity escapes me,
A dead end is now found.
The coming of age is costing
More than I can bear.
I guess this is what happens
When nothing ends up fair.
How did I stray so far?
When did I lose my mind?
These questions beg for answers
I don’t think I can find.
I’m not the man I used to be,
I’m being dragged along
Into a world that shows no hope,
A world that now is gone.
On one hand, I see reprieve
That will tear me up to shreds
Until it blows up into fury,
Pounding through my head.
On the other, I see a grave,
Our names scrawled into stone
As evidence of all that’s lost.
Such things will break my bones.
How did I stray so far?
When did I lose my mind?
These questions beg for answers
I don’t think I can find.
I’m not the man I used to be,
I’m being dragged along
Into a world that shows no hope,
A world that now is gone.
It’s not enough for me to know
Exactly what’s at stake.
I can have everything or nothing
Based on the choice I make.
I strive for everything, to keep my solace
But such things are never real.
You can’t have one come with the other.
In prayer I finally kneel.
