Another Path

Here I stand torn,
Looking ahead, glancing back
I'm searching for an exit
A way off this well ridden road
Because over to my right
Is a hidden path
Disclosing its wonders from my sight.

The road I'm on is not scary
It's just packed with other travelers
Each of them quite dull
I search for one as unique as me
And find that they're all the same
But if I look deeper, I see
They are not the same
But hidden in a wall of conformity.

I look down and see a wall
But this one is not like theirs
It's a different shell, and its cracked.
Blue emotions slither from its gaps
These are what inform me I'm on the wrong road
But deep inside I hope it stops
Because the wall protected me for so long

It would deflect misery, pain, and anger
So that inside I may remain calm
And the fuy rebounded to others
Over time, it changed the rules.
To fight or be fought, to distrust or be distrusted.
But now I see.

I need to let this out of me
And so I begin to remove the bricks
Althewhile a war fights inside
But still I break free
So that one day I may travel
The wonders of the other road
And discover the real me.
