The Road I Pave
The road I pave,
made with sharp jagged stones,
they represent all the hardships,
I've had to over come.
With pointed sharp shards,
that will cut like a knife,
these stones will show no mercy,
they have an enticing invite.
I've walked these same stones,
many times in my life,
only now have I chosen,
to lay them in plain sight.
Why would I pave a road.
of such that will maim,
an endless road of agony,
it's only purpose is pain.
My life has been a journey,
with many twists and turns,
so I pave this road for you (my children),
to show you where I went wrong.
