In the alleys
where the sun forgets to shine,
Living day to day,
walking on a fraying line.
Empty pockets in the silence of the night,
Stomach's growling thunder,
nothing ever feels quite right.
Eyes on storefronts with their
glittering displays,
Wondering how it feels
to live in such a daze.
Temptation whispers softly
in the cold wind's sigh,
"Take what you deserve,
no one sees you passing by."
Standing at the crossroads
between wrong and right,
Shadowed by the darkness,
searching for the light.
In a world that turns its back,
which path should I choose?
Hold on to my honor,
or live with what I lose?
Faces pass me by,
but no one knows my name,
Invisible and fading
in this unforgiving game. Sleepless nights are haunted by
choices in my head,
Dreams of open doors
and a warm and waiting bed.
Hunger paints a picture of a life
I can't attain,
While the city sings a siren song, whispering my name.
Law books and moral codes feel distant and abstract,
When survival weighs so heavy, pressing on my back.
Standing at the crossroads
between wrong and right,
Shadowed by the darkness,
searching for the light.
In a world that turns its back,
which path should I choose?
Hold on to my honor,
or live with what I lose?
From deep within,
a pulse I can't ignore,
Emerge like distant thunder rumbling in my chest.
Stories from my childhood of
heroes brave and true,
Remind me that integrity
is something I must pursue.
But the shadows offer refuge,
a quick escape from pain,
One simple act could turn the tide, break these heavy chains.
A mother and her child
pass me in the rain,
She offers me a smile,
easing some of my pain.
In her eyes I see reflections of
who I long to be, Not defined by circumstance but by humanity.
I turn away from windows
that held me in their gaze,
Decide my path is forward,
through this honest maze.
I'll forge ahead with dignity,
though rough the road may be,
For even in the darkest night,
my soul can still be free.
Standing at the crossroads
between wrong and right,
Shadowed by the darkness,

In a world that turns its back,
which path should I choose?
Hold on to my honor,
or live with what I lose?
The hunger still remains,
but so does something more,
A flicker of hope ignites, brighter than before.
With every step I take,
I leave the shadows far behind, Embracing strength and courage
I never thought I'd find.
