Crossroads

[alostandbrokensoul]

My last thread of hope
all i have left
to deal with my life, too learn to cope
at causing pain ive grown deft.

All my wounds inside and out
seem to burn bright
I didnt know what life was about
I was soon to learn it was all a fight.

A fight for freedom
a fight for control
a fight from your parents who think your dumb
a fight for life to survive, you main goal.

well here I am
at the crossroads of life
choose the path of fortune and glam
or the one that causes everyone strife.

Well here I go
now I must choose
my pain I already know
If I chose wrong what will I lose.

Now my wounds are burning
brighter than before
my stomach is churning
I can't think anymore.

My wrists show my pain
all the times I screamed
all the times I was to blame
being born into a horrific scheme.

The scars seem to glow
like the day they were carved
the risks that Ive always know
all the times the temptation starved.

Well here are the crossroads
of my life
be fortunate and happy
or cause people strife.

I choose the right one
the path to my life
Ill break free from control
I wont cause anyone strife.

I will freely stoll
through the streets at night
when I want to go
and never have to fight.

I chose the right path
the path of my life
you do the math
why cause strife.

If you can live happily
with fortune and fame
and always seem to smile
to never get stuck with blame.

Awesome write Tiffany. I enjoyed reading this piece very much. It reminded me of times in my own past that I have learned to deal with. Great job,

great work, ALABS!

with any crossroad, the options are plenty. take your time, think it through. i wish you the best of luck in choosing your path - remember that for the most part, it can be undone.

Wonderful piece!
The ending stanza really brought everything
together nicely and perfectly.
Beautifully written, the message
is something to really think about.

Very nice...can we grow strong without emotional diversity?
