The Broken Road

This broken road has so many bends, Who really knows where it ends. It's lonely and dark and heads out far, You don't see people or even a car. I try my best just to see, What on earth is ahead of me. Hearing sounds like no other before, I am shaken to my very core. These cracks in the ground are hard to miss, I just want to be out of this. Save me from the road I pray, Just give me another day. A day full of sunshine and good cheer, Please help me get out of here. I finally see the light far ahead, I can make this out and not be dead. As I get near the shadow does show, A sign that says "no, no, no" "You can not escape" says a voice to me, "You will die here can't you see?" I can't give up, not now, not ever, I will force my way through all kinds of weather. The shadow, it shows me a storm at night, I will be strong and put up a fight. But I can't cope with this, not right now, How can I beat this, I don't know how. As I try to find a way out, This booming voice lets out a shout. "Listen here my pathetic slave", "You'll never win , you'll just have to cave" One way or another I will die like this, It's the end of the road, no more hit and miss. "But please Mr shadow let me say, One day I will be stronger and then you will pay" He laughs at me and shows me his face, The devil in disguise it seems the case. I ask "what is it you gain?" He replies fast, "it's all about pain" "So what if this was happening to you?, What exactly would you do?" This shadows not stupid he knows I'm trying to win, But all he knows is pain and sin. For me this is it and all I hate, I can't escape I am too late.
