Black

As I look upon this path I took

Black Lightening

As I look upon this path I took

I worry that my choice was wrong

Out of my control, these events my world shook

But how does it stop, how long?

I hear thunder in the distance

As I wish for my power to return

This angry roar above me, I sit to try and listen

This road is meant for you to learn

Then when will this lesson end?

When will I find a new path?

I’m ready to move on, but this road does not bend

Here comes another chilly draft

Even with mistakes, one must learn to laugh

No matter what, there is no point turning back

I step off the path and through the bushes, another way I craft

Because this storms lighting, makes it far less black
