path to darkness

no matter how hard you try,

you can't be honest

when everything you are

is a lie.

my tears are a constant river

flowing to the sea

covering the path under my feet

and washing it away,

now i don't know which way to go.

so i go with the flow,

and follow the river at my feet.

knowing it will lead deeper

into the secret despairs of my heart,

but i don't see any other path

besides the one that leads to eternal darkness

and pain.
