The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
I'd go back and rechoose if I could
But here I lay now, sick and so confused
Was it a lie or was it all true.

Sleep now gently my darling love
Don't let my worries trouble you
People try hard to forget
But memories always stay.

Nightmares and dreams of long passed things
Try and chase me away from sleep
All that time I spent in the dark
Just like that, I'm in the light.

Everything will be fine
Notice all the similarities
We go together like the birds and bees
Just imagine what all could have happened
Every one I knew would long be dead.

What really goes on behind closed doors
Makes me secretly cry out loud
Within all these horror stories
Lay many times of regret.

Always in such a frightened state
Trapped in an imaginary cage
Living life day by day
And soon enough some day
I'll come out and play.

In a world where everything is upside down
I try hard not to lose my mind
Things keep getting worse so
I tell myself everything will be fine
I want to grow up and be a real bad cop
In the end, it'll work.
