Crossroads
We are the sinister, the wicked and the wretched
We are the shadows that dance within the blackness
We mock and taunt you, with faceless masks and grinning eyes
Teasing you with what used to be yours
Tainting and raping the light within
Shunned by the pure and enwrapped by the darkness
We are confined within the darkest abyss of our hearts,
Growing, and maturing with hatred thats biting and clawing into our skin,
Our anger festering with selfish desires bubbling to the surface
Eating away at our humanity like acid
Morphing and twisting our figures into a hideous monstrosity
We have dared to grasp the point of no return, with cruel and greedy hands
We are the villains
We are the righteous, the just,and the good
We are the few that disperse the oily black tendrils of the maleficent
We stretch and strain to resuscitate the innocence within others.
Trying to right the wrongs and shine through the clouded vision of others
Living for those who have fallen and have been toyed with by the corrupted
Driven by sheer will and the opportunity to see better days
We brave the unearthly and endure through the pain
With warm smiles and second chances, we give the power to change
Those from the past, their dreams, honor, and pride are our own now.
We are their living legacy
We are the Heros
We are the many
We are the friends and enemies that reside in your life's story
With light and darkness engaged in a dangerous tango,
Forming a never ending dance of destruction and rebirth
To the right, a road full of light, rough and rigid thats littered with numerous obstacles
To the left, a Smooth pathway thats cloaked by an ebony curtain and a stench of bitterness
Everyone in their life time has to make this choice of great importance
Reside within the dark depths of nothingness with great power
Or stay in the warm comfort of the light with those who are loved
This crossroad has finally appeared in my life
With little hesitance, I walk down my chosen path...
