The Road Less Traveled By

Take the road less traveled by
The one of mud and filth
For nothing ugly ever lies
Alone, it counts its kills 

Take the road less traveled by 
The one of guilt and shame
This one might lead to misery 
And you’re the one to blame

Take the road less traveled by 
The one of blood and pain
The path leads nowhere but down
Just follow the cries of the slain

Take the road most traveled by
The one of flowers and song
Just remember, roses have thorns
And beauty may sometimes be wrong.
