This Road

Her Reality

She stands alone, apart from the rest;

She constantly tries to remind herself,

This life is just a test.

The sounds of music clash in her ears;

The meanings of those words,

So immoral and so wrong,

Bring to the surface those fears.

This world, followed by a throng,

Has become nothing but a life of sin;

It closes around her like a cage,

Forever between those walls she's kept within.

Their enjoyment and fun fill the air;

They never see the harm,

But she can't help seeing the wrong.

Innocence and purity gone,

Ignorance prevails.

She wants to do what's right,

She wants to follow that path;

She tries to speak but the words won't come;

She tries to leave but she's always pulled back.

How does she fight?

How can she pass this test of life?

She closes her eyes;

She blocks her ears;

She reminds herself,

One day she will be rewarded--

If she aces the tests of these years.

She finally walks away,

Reminds herself of Him;

He will be her guide to a life she craves,

Free of sin, free of sinful desires followed on a whim.
