Along the Cold Dreary Road

There was a time
Of life with joy and happiness 
Not a single concern
Now I just have regrets to look back at


Little by little 
The steps I take come to naught 
Sadness and self pity 
Make myself filled with apathy 

With cowardliness as my virtue, 
Of living a fulfilled life 
I dream of everyday 
Whilst the world dismantles my reality

Thorns and rusty nails form my way
In every step I take 
All I have are flesh wounds and bleeding feet to show for

My days are filled with frenzied motions
Going through the moves
I end up as a saddlebag 
Filled with useless rocks

Fear and regret as they’re my arms 
Despair and desperation are my limbs 
I trudge on, unable to shake off 

Dreams and wants drawn and quartered by my fears and incapacitation
Thank you God for making me a coward.
