Crossroads

If I only knew why red rivers flow
Away from a life in torment
I can't conceive why a glorified lifestyle like this is so appealing
Why are there no other choices?
Why do we feel this is how we need to survive?
If I only knew why death surrounds
I can't conceive your reasoning
If I only knew what will be left
Shattered hopes and dreams
Your excuse is unacceptable
I can't relate to what you have to say
