The lonely road beckons..
“Come”, whispers the lil' houses ahead, “ your dreams and wishes are just around the corner.”
“Don't be afraid, we'd prop you up”, says the merry crossing.
“Yes!” sinister sign gestures.
“We're just a little shadow, we won't hurt you”, murmurs looming darkness..
And so lonely road goes. Because this is his existence, his destiny, to go on regardless. From beginning to end.
Somewhere, somehow, it'd end eventually. Even if it feels like neverending, as it oft does, an illusion nevertheless.
What is life but a path. What is freedom but a choice. Lonely road will just go on..
