Trying to lose a piece of me

by Beth - Scorpio

Swore I'd never
tread that path
again
not EVER
Yet here I stand
Swore I would
always stay on course
swore I'd never
give in to all the 
childish games
Swore I would never
run back to this place

Maybe I tried too hard
I took every detour
I lost track 
way back when
Never thought
not for a minute
I'd ever find my way 
back again

I burnt every bridge I crossed
Stomped  on every shaky piece of ground
Fell every tree to block the way 
that would lead straight 
back to you

Yet here I stand
 once again 
on the threashold of insanity
I must be insane to be back here
for another round
of knock me down

Damn my defective compass
