The Hard Place

The Hard Place…

I’m regressing for a time again
Looking for the rhyme again
A familiar scene, and I’m in between the rock
And the hard place…

I’m wearing smiles to cover the frowns
I’m in despair though I play the role of the clown
Here’s what I mean, I’m in between the rock
And the hard place…

I’m turning my head, can’t bear the sights I see
My tearing eyes all red, and it’s such a blur to me
A collision course,
And in the middle of the road is where I stand
Caught between the rock
And the hard place…
