PT.1
I walk along this path,
Alone and unsure.
A lilting melody lingers,
Telling of tales long gone.
Stars like diamonds in the sky,
Twinkling with secrets unknown.
Invisible strings pull me,
I am naught but a puppet.
Guiding me down the road,
I come to a fork.
One is shadowed in darkness,
Promising the world.
The other lit up,
With nothing to hide.
I stand there,
The puppet master pausing.
Whispering in my head,
He tells me to choose.
Pick the left he says,
Risk your soul.
A chance at eternal bliss,
Or a lifetime lost in a shadowed land.
You could go right he says,
The safer route.
Contentment can be found here,
But you would not be as happy.
So here I stand,
I take a step forward.
Left the risk,
Or right the safe route?
Pt. 2
My strings are cut,
I lay there lost in thought.
Wondering what I will do,
Where will I go from here?
The puppet master who once led me,
Cast me aside for better puppets.
Slowly I stretch my limbs,
Moving on my own is a new concept.
I struggle onto my feet,
I wobble a bit.
Blinking my eyes for the first time,
I look at the sky.
The stars lighting up the night,
Giving me encouragement.
I take a step,
Along this dark path I go.
Alone and unwanted I feel,
The ones I had known walk a different path.
The rain falls gently,
Caressing me with a soft touch.
The wind is blowing,
Revealing my wayward emotions.
I walk along this path knowing,
I will never be the same.
I don't know where I'm going,
Or where It'll take me.
There is no light at the end,
No promises of a better ending.
Only the knowledge of promises,
Of risks, and hopes, and fears.
