Good, Bad
Right, Wrong
The list just goes on and on
There is a line that no one should cross
It has been blurred and lost
Morals are guidelines
Everyone is an exception
Lost in a sea of philosophical deception
So here you go
Round and round again
Running the same circles you did back then
You try to keep straight
But it is harder now
Always letting your loved ones down
Your mind betrays what you know to be true
It keeps you caged like a monkey at a zoo
You keep dancing the dance
You keep singing the song
Even if you know it to be wrong
You know who you are
Or at least who you want to be
So why can't you just let yourself free?
A stranger whispers things in your ears
But you don't believe what you hear
You are breaking the chains
The light is in sight
But than it flickers
and your trapped in the night
You keep holding on
As strength fills your soul
But you start to stagger when the fight takes its toll
Your almost there
The end is in sight
The noose you wear is tied tight
The tears slip out
Your hoping for peace
Second-guessing as you look at your feet
Than sudden like a storm
You hear the voice
The one telling you to make a different choice
The one telling you, you'll be okay
The one screaming this isn't the way
You breath out relief
Your death-wish ends
And your will to live extends
The second-wind hits
"I won't go out like this"
There is too much I'll miss
The words the stranger whispered that day,
Gave you a sword so your demons you could slay
You repeat as a mantra never leaving your thoughts,
Giving you strength as they ought
And that is when you realize
Under the scarred skin and thoughts of mud
Under all the tears and blood
There is someone who is beloved
As the words echo,
"You Are Loved"
Hold fast this lifeline
Never let it go
As you learn to love
In a world of ice and snow
For those who need to know, you are never alone. We love you.
