down this path
BY RIPLEY DOUP
Down this dark path I travel
With its twists and its turns
With its hazards and its pain
The pain the churns and burns
The looming trees above me
Taunt words that cut to the bone
They whisper sorrow and they whisper death
I feel frightened and I feel alone
The shadows that surround me
Reveal my past and my scars
They find my hidden sins
That are as many as the stars
