The road by poetictwenty(m): 10:29am On Feb 04, 2020
The road
Struggles of life have withheld my crown,
Making me drown in life's ups and Downs.
I now move my life on the railway of lies,
Hence allowing my true self to die.
.

The love for pleasure have made me senseless,
Hence drowning my morals in the ocean of 21st century madness!
I now promote immorality without shame.
Goodname have I sacrificed for riches and fame...
.
Where went the incorruptible me?
Where could that righteous me be?
Where is that boy that loved his Creator,
Who even his pastor can attest for?
.
I lost myself trying to fit into the world;
Making valueless my parent priceless words...
I pray I find myself someday;
Hopefully, before I embrace death on my dying day.
