Dead Ends

It’s never good when I’m alone with my thoughts with some good music in the background. There’s always that tendency to get absorbed and feel the need to rhyme. Lol. Somehow while staring at the ceiling some phrases kept crossing my mind that I had to write them..and then I felt obliged to just finish it into a song/poem/whatever these things I write are supposed to be called.

Here goes:

So you lie,

you close your eyes

to let the guilt subside

And then you see the line

you’ve crossed,

can’t step back to the other side

And now the path’s been altered

In the gutter

‘cause you faltered

But you try to lift yourself

Lying in the corner

six feet under

Your head’s still on your shoulders

but you don’t know

how much longer

can the wheels turn

break the glass

You’ve missed your chance

Here comes the crash

Take my feet and

walk the line

See if you can

even try to hold your stance

Life’s too short to

make mistakes and start again

But how do you cope when

everywhere’s a dead end?

Someday,

maybe someday

it’ll go away

Let the leaves sway

their own way

while you sit and wait

You’re on your knees

as you plead

save yourself from this…

“Please take me away from this”

Take my feet and

walk the line

See if you can

even try to hold your stance

Life’s too short to

make mistakes and start again

But how do you cope when

everywhere’s a dead end?

So my guitar string snapped while I tried to find chords for this. The universe is telling me to end my very promising singing career here. So i’ll probably just leave it this way. How appropriate…that this entry’s about dead ends. Haha
