My Own Private Nothing


This is a familiar road
where i find my place
and if you look down it right
youll see my face
if you listen carefully
to my distant rambles
youll understand why
my life lay in shambles
this road you see
holds my future
like and unwed bride
awaits her suitor
a hundred years and
a thousand miles away
and i will return to this road
on my dieing day

this endless asphalt is like my twin brother
without even a word we know eachother

you never stopped to ask my opinion
or how i cared
little boys hear no evil
speak no evil
just shut [edited by Moderator] up
and when it was my turn
i ran
cause i was scared
you did this to me
i should call you father
dragged me around the country
i wasnt in school
litteraly dragged me
without my brother
you wouldnt have cared
dropped my
sad, lonely, unfelt
into the arms of my peers
who thought me a fool

to escape you
i ran into crime
a single rush
to pass the time
i took, i robbed, i stole
now im in this hole
without a life
but a movie role

from father to son
the cycle turns
young from old
manhood he learns
an empty hole where
my heart should be burns
with no lessons
my life falling apart
cant you understand
took to many drugs
drunk
fell the hardest
when i reached
your hands

returned to the roads
i knew
a car going nowhere
the stars shine through
same i stared at as a child
only they understand
i turned so wild
one by one the forgive
i tune in a song
silently cry
whatever went wrong

this is a familiar road
where i find my place
if you look down it right
youll see my face
a hundred years
a thousand miles away
this road will be my father
until my dieing day

Great write!!! It was like a little story that really kept me interested!!!

You write beautifully

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.
