Ragged Road I Am

Laughing at the music
Forcing its beats through my headphones
I laugh because
I can survive
And I might
If you listen.
Let’s begin the discussion.

I am a ragged road
Do you expect perfection?
You could hope for happiness tho…

So many people can’t take it
When the road twists
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
Don’t you know that
So much good
Waits around the corner?

The sickness works its way into my mind
Twisting my stomach
Around and around and
Around the bend
There is a future
But so many insist on getting thrown off.

You are smarter than that.

We agree on wisdom
But to walk the road
Requires honesty
Tell me truly
And I will remind you
That I made you feel happy and special.
You ARE special.
And I think you could be happy.

Let’s try dancing to the absurdity
That runs as teen movies and MTV
Through my headphones.
This plea caught up between Frost
And chart-climbing cliché.


Let’s be careful,
Please,
I wouldn’t dream of any other way
Of handling your heart.
Remember we are treasures,
Two diamonds in the rough.

Careful doesn't mean halt,
Perhaps pause,
But the road has a traffic light.
Help me see inside your mind...
Gorgeous


Am I upset?
I wouldn’t know…
I’m too busy balancing.
Help me see the other side.

Tangled is bad
Embrace is good
Cause I say adorable things
And you are too beautiful for words.

People see the any ragged road
And judge it
Not
Worth
Walking.
It’s too hard.
Getting through the barriers
Makes for blessings
And I would walk any road
With such a blessing as you.

I laugh
At how the mindless music mirrors
Aristotle
(Probably an accident)
And I cry for what people lose.
That doesn’t have to be us.
Other people have walked the road.

The road is not straight
But it is narrow.
Will you walk with me?
We don’t have to start the journey yet
But I’ll wait at the gate,
I just want to know.

This song might be the accompaniment
To one of those montages
In just another movie
Celebrating youth
And I might be holding your hand by the end of the scene.

I took so many wrong turns
To get away from you
And the road I took
Led me where I told myself
I wouldn’t go.
And I can’t take any other road.

Many abandon their roads.
Just as many walk them until death,
And that is nothing more than a
"To be Continued".
And these are the people whose lives
Are the better for the walking.

There is no perfect road
But there are some things worth
Hoping
And walking towards.
Will you walk with me?
