Pivotal Times
Pivotal Times
Pivotal times
Are trying times
Is the worst yet to come?
I feel alone
I want to escape
I need that special one.
Through the doors
I run into
This passage won’t let me through.
I want to lead
Yet tend to follow
I need to be made new.
Colliding thoughts
Lie within
Confusion clouds my brain.
If I should stumble
Suppose I do fall
What will be my gain?
Guidance I need
To overcome
Perplexed in this confounded state.
Where do I go
When will I get there
How long will I have to wait?
Defeated
I am overcome
Yet I was free to choose.
Now overwhelmed
Unsure where to go
Cause in the end I chose to lose.
I chase destruction
The road to my ruin
It all lies within my demise.
All for nothing
Toiling in distress
If only I wouldn’t have lived for lies.
Lost forever
Misplaced alone
Or simply gone astray?
Courage is searching
Yet fear has found me
I will find myself someday.
