ALONE

I sit here in the world alone
But I ask, is this really the life I want to live
Everyone around harks a different tone
I keep telling myself that something’s gotta give

Sometimes I get a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel
Unfortunately I can never manage to reach it
I always seem to fumble.
Awaiting me is the bottomless pit

It engulfs the very souls of men
With its fiery rage
The agonizing cries will never escape the devil's den
The burning flame engulfs the ensnared mind within its lustful cage

This prison that I have created
Protects me from the world and its hostility
They are intimidated
By anything that questions their morality.

Some choose the easy road.
It is more exciting with its curves and bends
Until it dives abruptly into Satan’s heinous abode
There he waits for our inevitable ends.

Who wouldn’t desire that virile creature?
It exemplifies perfection in every manner.
This beast stands strong asserting its burly features.
Even the most stubborn would surrender.

Yet the fairest of them all stands gracefully.
Who would dare neglect a being with such beauty?
A caring and loving soul, so perfectly
Made, with a divine essence

The world and all of its temptation is dangerous
He says that he would not inflict us with more than we could bear.
Then why do I feel helpless
I stand here exposed,
For the whole world to bear witness.
