on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

when i was young
i thought i owned the world
i knew that i could do it all

when i was young
i believed in god
and thought he was just

when i was young
i thought everybody was equal
and that the world was fair

when i was young
i wanted to grab the world by the tail
and toss it around and make changes

but then i got older
and my house of cards collapsed
everything i saw was an illusion
when i was young


the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

and sometimes, its that illusion that kept us alive through the most turbulent time in anyones life....

i know where you are coming from with this...
youth was a strange place to be...
