Lonely Road

Here I stand, staring at the sky with many questions, but no answers why. Like why am I standing here all alone, forced to face these fears all on my own? I was once told, i'd walk a lonely road, but I couldn't imagine how far this road could truly go. But here I am, i'm still a walking man. I'm still walking man, through this uncharted land. Well I guess it's true what they say that this is not paradise. Who am I to argue, I gotta take what I can take. Even though I thought to end it all, I even thought about it twice, but I came so far to end it with a choice that wasn't worth to make. My momma told me when I was a young man "Don't ever beg for nothing boy. This world is not about giving out any hands." many years have passed and momma I finally know, what you tried to tell me so long ago. I see my demons! They hide in society! The're everywhere I see! I even feel them inside of me, but still I stay upon this road that lies ahead. Until another lonely soul finds me here lying dead.. Well I guess it's true what they say that this is not paradise. Who am I to argue, I gotta take what I can take. Even though I thought to end it all, I even thought about it twice, but I came so far to end it with a choice that wasn't worth to make.
