“RAINY PATH”

THE WAY MY LIFE IS NOW AND THE WAY THAT IT WILL UNFOLD, 

IS LIKE NO OTHER STORY EVER TOLD, 

DREAMS THAT WERE SHATTERED WHEN I WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD, 

HOPE THAT CRUMBLED BEFORE IT EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO GROW,

LIFE CAN BE HARD AND HAPPY THIS WE ALREADY KNOW, 

I JUST HOPE THAT IN MY DEMISE ALL OF YOU REALIZE THE LOVE I HAD FOR EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY SO,

ALONG MY WALK OF LIFE I’VE SEEN MANY HANDS,

SOME HELD OUT TO GIVE ME HELP AND SOME HELD OUT TO PUSH ME DOWN EVEN LOWER THAN I ALREADY AM, 

I SEE MYSELF WALKING, SPLASHING THROUGH PUDDLES – WONDERING IF I EVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE, 

I GUESS I MADE THESE CHOICES WELL IN ADVANCE,

SO ARE ALL OF MY SORROWS AND HURT ARE MY FAULT? NO BUT, IF, NOR AND, 

FUNNY HOW WHEN YOU’RE WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS ALL THE NOISE STOPS AS SOON AS YOU STEP ON A BRANCH, 

SOME OF THE SCARS I HOLD ARE MERELY A CIRCUMSTANCE, 

I’VE WALKED THIS RAINY PATH ALONE SO I AM USED TO IT NO NEED FOR A NEW PLAN, 

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET OUT I HAVE ACCEPTED WHO I AM, 

I’VE GROWN ACCUSTOM TO THIS LIFE EVEN THOUGH AT TIMES I’VE FELT IT WAS A SCAM, 

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS – I PROMISE YOU I AM, 

I’M JUST SO SORRY FOR THE HURT I HAVE CAUSED AND FOR NOT SUCCESSFULLY BECOMING A BETTER MAN.
