X's & O's and Lonely Crossroads

It's the same dream every night

I'm standing at a crossroad

To my left it is dark and I can't make out the path

To my right it is light but jagged rocks rise from the ground

There is no devil to make a deal with

No pact to be made or broken

Just me standing at the crossroads

It's simple really, I just need to take a step

Left or right left or right chants in my mind

With every breath, I hear them

The fears brushing up against my skin whispering in my ear

But tonight, something has changed

A new fear has found its voice and shakes me to my very core

What if I never move

What if I just stay still
