Take a journey round my world
Let me tell you of the twists and turns
Of the reflections above and beneath
Filled with roses, roses with thorns
My world so pleasant and sweet
But a lie lies in the truth of my reality
Like Mona Lisa, a two sided reality
My world of roses and ruins
Love and hate, the hours with their moods
The joy, the sadness, playing their tunes
With rhythms and sounds filled with clues
Which does nothing but mystify the hue
A programmed life where emotions are queued
Errors and mistakes are not excused
So I keep my truth for yours to be told
And I trade my soul in exchange for gold
All that is left is hollow and cold
And a reminder that says I’ve got to be bold
As I walk down this path of many miles
The sound of my feet bears the whispers of faded smiles
Into the shadows and darkness
Where light will not shine on my weakness
Down the lane holds streaks of light
And struggle I must, with all my might
To catch a glimpse of some hope
And maybe, just maybe I don’t have to use the rope
