Just down the dirt road Beyond the regal tree A bright light shines As if it's beckoning me I know this light will bring an end To the pain I've held so long But once again I turn my head And take the path that's wrong I've taken this path many times I'm used to it's wretched smell The only reason I chose it again Is because I know it so well Loved ones try to steer me To go the other way But as if it's automatic This is where I stay Maybe one day I'll have the strength To answer the beckoning light But now I continue on my path Putting up my fight
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem after a conversation I had with a good friend. He was telling me that I was throwing my life away with drugs and blowing off school. It took a lot of bad choices and painful loses before I finally straighted up and got on the right path.
