If I had only known what waited<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for me down that road <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could have turned around <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and walked away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
instead I stumbled into <\/p>\n\n\n\n
a trap of my own making <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ignoring all the signs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I closed my eyes and kept on walking <\/p>\n\n\n\n
blinded to the truth <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I always knew inside <\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet I took those red flags waving <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and wrapped them tight around my face<\/p>\n\n\n\n
no room to breath or smell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
or see the coming end <\/p>\n\n\n\n
of everything that kept me going <\/p>\n\n\n\n
like a lost bird in the desert <\/p>\n\n\n\n
the head so buried in the sand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
such willful oblivion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
as the world falls down around me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
through the choices that I made <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the responses that they triggered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
from someone that never seemed to care <\/p>\n\n\n\n
near as much as I<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
