PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

gonna travel down the rugged road

it's a bumpy path, this i know

but it seems the smooth pavement isn't my path

to loving life with true happiness



it's been a struggle to figure out

what my journey should be about

It's not the same as most I know

and it is hard to work at letting go



in order to gain i've got to go

stop trying to follow the status quo

that path hasn't been working for me

so it's time to set myself free



It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday

but if i don't soon break away

I would fall apart, I can tell

till there's nothing left of me but an empty shell



following your heart is the only way

so i'm gonna quit being afraid

i am so tired of wasting time trying

to fit in a world while my soul was dying
