What Lies Beneath the Surface

It’s a long winding road, This life we all walk in My path has become deteriorated I can no longer see my road ahead of me So through the extreme and rough off road trails ill travel There is no more saving me Im a lost soul Among many I may walk But completely alone i think to find myself Sorrow is sown into my soul Hope has been lost Fiercely looking within myself to find it This is not who I am But it is who I’ve grown to be I’ve found many things are a lie Soon I’ll see my reality And find that all along I was completely alone I shall run off to the far seas Immerse my frail body into the depths of the cold The taste of the salt upon my tongue will be welcomed As I breathe my last breath of air my head will go beneath the surface And there I shall find the eternal peace The peace I’ve been desperately looking for all my life This life I live may be a lie But there was never a truth to begin with

Very profound but why not find the strength to change roads?
