Struggling at the Crossroads

Sitting at the crossroads

I wonder how’d I get here?

With head in hand and crying

‘cause I’m filled with great despair.

 

Soaring at the crossroads

Demon, bon mot arranging,

“Take the road that you know well,

no sense in ever changing.”

 

Kneeling at the crossroads

Angel, woefully she pleas

“That path, you know, just brings tears,

do not listen to that beast.”

 

Sitting at the crossroads

I question my existence

Do I take the new road or

the one of least resistance?

 

Set’ling at the crossroads

Demon, his evil dripping,

taunts me, grinning ear to ear,

with all my mental slipping

 

Kneeling at the crossroads

Angel says, “Pay him no mind,

God will always love you, so

leave your past mistakes behind.”

 

Sitting at the crossroads

I am not sure what to do

All my ill deeds forgiven?

Surely that cannot be true.

 

Standing at the crossroads

Demon, devil that I know,

he lies to me, but still has

those familiar hands to hold

 

Kneeling at the crossroads

Angel calls to me with grace,

“Life is full of ebb and flow;

you will always find your place.”

 

Sitting at the crossroads

I’m focusing on her words

and cease to hear the static

I no longer feel unnerved

 

Stumbling at the crossroads

Demon squints his dull, black eyes

‘cause now I’ve found my way and

it will lead to his demise

 

Standing at the crossroads

Angel takes me by my hand

“Trust, God will navigate you

and guide you through this great land.”

 

Standing at the crossroads

I have fin’ly found solace,

for the “what ifs” have faded

My future’s full of promise
