Crossroads

Fork in the road,,,,Right? Left? Straight?

The Crossroads

Crushed and crumbled
No longer whole
A mangled disheartened
Fragmented soul

Habitual behavior
Has taken full toll
Passion and purpose
Dependency stole

Twisting and spiraling
Out of control
A Vanished existence
Sucked in obsession's blackhole

At the crossroads
Now faced with a choice
All else goes silent
Save my little girls voice

Daddy don't go
Daddy please stay
We need you daddy
Please don't go away

Who will protect me
Who will watch as I play
Who will walk me down the aisle
On my wedding day

Overcome with clarity
As I hear her pray
It's unfair that she witness
This pained heart I portray

From these filthy habits
I will break away
These demons I dance with
Will have hell to pay

From this moment I promise
I will stand my ground
I'll draw sword on these demons
That have pushed me around

Tear free from these chains
That had me tightly bound
Making my final stop 
On Satan's merry-go-round

I now swim in deep waters
That I once surely drowned
I can feel my spirits lifted
That were pounded so deep in the ground

Passion and purpose
Once again found
I feel a fire inside
My clock has been wound
From today on
Life will revolve around
Making sure that my children
Are always loved, safe and sound
