Crossroads

If I only knew why red rivers flow,

Away from a life in torment,

I can't conceive why a glorified lifestyle like this is

so appealing,

Why are there no other choices?

Why do we feel this is how we need to survive?

If I only knew why death surrounds,

I can't conceive your reasoning,

If I only knew what will be left,

Shattered hopes and dreams,

Your excuse is unacceptable,

I can't relate to what you have to say
