I Stand Alone

by Eric Sheridan - Capricorn

I Stand Alone 

 As I look ahead, on this road of darkness,
 I know that I stand alone.
 Nothing to guide me but the mark on my hand. 
 The mark that will brighten my path,
 With a light  that brightens the evils of the dark,
 Of the path that is to come.

 I have seen few others that have chosen this path,
 But take the easy way out,
 For there are a number of shortcuts,
 In which I will not follow.
 I promise to take the long way out,
 Where there are greater rewards.

 The only weapon I have against evil,
 Is the fire within my heart.
 A fire that will burn the temptations of sin,
 In which I will have no part.

 The mark, and fire that are contained in myself
 Will be used through out this journey,
 Because as I look down this road of darkness,
 I know that I must face it alone.

Reason for writing:

    its a poem about being straight edge...somthing i am very proud of....straight edge is symbolized by an "X" it means i exclude the use of all drugs in my life, in order to live my life to the most fulfillment.
