Road of Despair

1998 ish. © Talon Truitt Cherry, All rights reserved

There is a road
Stretched far behind me
Long and winding
But it gets there
On this road you
will find me
wandering blindly
without a care
Every body needs somebody
Every body needs a friend
We all need somebody we can count on
Till the end.
But that road
Leads me blindly
Through a life of
Complete despair
I will stay
and wander blindly
Until I find some
body who cares
Misery loves company
that's what they say to me
But to me company is misery
That’s all I'll ever see
So if you want
you can find me
wandering blindly
without a care
on that road
long and winding
completely blinding
Road of despair.

Author notes
I was going through some old things, and I found my first book of poems, and songs. On the first page signed by a younger me in 1996 was this short song. I think it belongs in this collection. "I was ten"
