Devil's Crossroads
I push myself for my new start
As the internal bleeding spreads to my heart
Testing myself, I question my fear
I've cried so much, there is not a tear
Damp abyss slowly takes my soul
Sick inside --- I'm so full
Reminiscing about what should have been
By myself --- my worst enemy --- too weak to defend
What is wrong with me? I'm going insane
For all this rage and anger I cannot tame
On people I love most it explodes
Taming the beast inside of me on the Devil's Crossroads
Too frozen up I can't scream or shout
Not understanding completely what I'm so angry about
Giving up is where I am headed next up
Tired of putting on a front and trying to be tough
So crossroads I sit and wait for the red eyes
Thanks for not caring --- much obliged
Stripped of my clothes and laughed at for my pride
Life's the beginning of a journey I intend not to hide...
