The Path Not Taken

The voyage of the heart forsaken

Along the righteous path not taken

The darkness there permeates the soul

Spawns an empty life without a goal

Sullen with a lack of gratitude

Ever cloaked with such vile attitude

Down a staircase where fate soon tumbles

A self-made house of cards that crumbles
