The Paved Road
They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions,
But sometimes good intentions make for lousy travel plans.
Because, although the road is paved, someone forgot to mention
It’s also filled with detours leading back where you began.
The road to Hell is full of speed bumps, jagged holes and glass shards.
You sprint, you jump, you never thought a road could be so hard.
Then, somewhere along the way, you see this road you travel,
although paved, is harder to traverse than one that’s gravel.
And it’s never going to lead you where you really want to go.
I’m walking down a different path, to Hell with the paved road.
