Dark Roads

Ahead, lies a dark road,
One where a curse has been bestowed,
Where the darkest clouds have been forbode,
Where everything's been throwed.

A road meant to pave
for a brighter tomorrow,
But everything you gave
Repaid with sorrow.
Always the sun sets low,
Casting a shadow
Over the woeful road.

You've been here before;
You hear the pity roar.
You ask yourself,
Should I be more?
But what's it all for?

You look to see
All roads are guaranteed
To always sink deeper than the sea.
What am I to be?
