Unswayed

I choose my path tonight, In search of middle ground, Between vice and virtue, Not easily found... Surrounded by this wake, I stand, In a sea of fake, in search of land, Pushing forward as far as I can, But with each step, sinking deeper into sand... So this is to the shadow that walks in my stead, To the devils and the demons that drift in my head... I will not be intimidated, never be eliminated, By an abrasive body there to be discriminative, Always underestimated, understated and underrated, But under everything my fate cannot be weighted, I am ready to be vindicated, By this cave that has been made, Cause this shade creates a shadow, In its attempt to masquerade, An allusion of a solutions, In order to dismay and dissuade, So pull me out of this hole, I will not stand afraid, Cause my shell may be unsteady, But my soul to this day, Has always stayed, And remained, Unswayed
