Dead End
Somehow I got into a fight,
First with my fist, but then a knife,
First at school, then at night,
First made a bruise then took a life,
Somehow my dreams all fell apart,
My life went off my perfect chart,
I forgot about my beating heart,
I still can’t find where this had to start,
Somehow I learned how not to cry,
To smile when I had to die,
To never let emotions pry,
To stop god from watching in the sky,
Somewhere I learned to forget trust,
To let love rot and collect dust.
Even when I want to, I know I must,
Do for myself, even though its unjust,
Somehow my life received defeat,
I let my will slowly retreat,
Let it lose everything that made it complete,
Let it roll downhill to a dead-end street.
