THIS SCARLET ROAD I WALK
My feet drag heavy as I walk
My sword in hand used as a crutch
As its tip drags the ground beside me
The shield beaten and nearly broken
My armor has seen to many battles
I just wanted to live my life
I didn’t need anyone standing in my way
You can take a walk with me
Down this dreary path
I hope you’ll part as a friend
I regret nothing in my past
Far to busy living in the now
Looking forward to my future
I am moving forward on a positive stance
If you are by my side stand strong
If you have fallen you will be remembered
For those who oppose me
Keep your negative attitudes to yourselves
Or you’ll be the path I am cutting through
