The third and final chapter in this little series of poems. I'll write more of them eventually, I've found that I truly enjoy. But for organization and the plain and simple hope of more reviews, each poem will go into a block of three (most likely some underlying them will accompany them).
WE HAVE A WINNER – Zanisha got it right, this one is of course about Riku. Good Job and as promised, a statement to your smartness…You are smart. Later.
The Solitary Road
The world can be so cruel at times
With so many people and their crimes.
I once hated them and their acts
So why is it now that I follow in their tracks?
I have fallen to darkness, to evil, to death
Now I just struggle to take my next breath.
It all started when I wanted something more
I simply wanted to be able to explore.
But that was a door that I never should have unsealed,
For that was when I first began to yield
To the dark powers standing right by my side,
For it was then that the first lie was lied,
It was then that I began my fall,
It was then that I was left to crawl.
The dark I had so willingly let it took my body for a ride
And from then on, it seemed that no matter how hard I tried,
I just couldn't break the ties that had been created.
So I did what I could, I sat there and waited,
Until I got up the courage to stop the rage
And finally break free of my very own cage.
But it was too late, the damage was done.
I was left with nothing, the pain had just begun.
I was free of the evil, but still caged by my past.
So I fight on, knowing that I won't last
In my new cage; a cage forged by my own hand,
Unless I take the solitary road to some new land.
The solitary road, of them there are few,
But I will start today, I will become anew.
