Trail Crumbs

I started something of a game
I left a trail of crumbs
And hungry birds followed
Wherever I lead with food
They are unaware
I could be dangerous
My intentions are confused
The forest dark with shadows
But with day's light
The forest floor is viewed
It is free of snares
But I am doomed
Without clarity I bleed
I don't mean to hurt anyone
I simply haven't the energy
To do more than I do
I haven't it in me to care
But I have nothing
My flesh tired
Sing my elegy
Let me be a mystery
Knee deep in misery
Life is too complicated
I get lost in the drama
Even drowning
In the shallows of the pool
