Final Step

Abused, confused
Fought the blues, no shoes
Still I walk
No place, no face
Broken grin, hollow within
Still I walk
Abandoned my friend
Lost hold pot of gold
Left out cold
Compromise to mend
My demise, my end
Despised again
Standing on the edge of time
Looking down I realize
I am here one final footstep forward
Again seemed right
Follow the light it dimmed
No surprise
Somehow tricked perfect fit
Alibi, two-faced lie
No surprise
By the heels
Suddenly I’m pinned
Forced to kneel choked to heal
Failure failed
This rhyme picked my mind
Out of time
