The Sundering

Down this lonely road I walked No one in sight to speak to So to my mind I began to talk "What's wrong with you?" "I cannot love, I cannot function" Responded my mind to me "You are coming to a junction" A junction? I did not see. "Choose one or the other The Good or the Bad Be good to your mother Be good to your dad" "Or choose the life of drugs and pain To fruitless happiness will this lead you Then watch your life begin to wane So Kyle, what will you do?" "I'll choose the life of good I just need a bit of a nudge I'd choose it now if I could But my mind is filled with sludge" "This sobriety will do you good," Said my mind I was beginning to wonder If my life would evolve from this daily grind Or would my life be sundered By the toxins and the people around me The quest set before me was strenuous But now I finally wanted to see Even though my relationships would become tenuous "Life will go on" My mind explained My heart filled with hope and wonder "I'm glad from this drug I refrained For if I didn't, my life would be sundered"
