On a dirt road

On a dirt road is where I grew up
On a dirt road I started driving
On a dirt road I started drinking
On a dirt road I started smoking
On a dirt road I rode bikes
On a dirt road I crashed bikes
On a dirt road I feel alone but it's okay being with nature
On a dirt road I walked many miles
On a dirt road I found love
On a dirt road I lost love
On a dirt road I had fun
On a dirt road I felt depressed
On a dirt road I ran away from home
On a dirt road I found a tree
This tree is old
Half alive
Rotting away
Still surviving somehow
It has dead limbs and even a dead section
It has a chain wrapped in its trunk
Somehow it lives and continues life
So I took inspiration from it and decided I could continue to live life too
