Road
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
I got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
A battle won for a broken heart
A king of spade or your ultimate card
Fixed or sewn you were ripped apart
Never knowing where you could start
The mountain roads and the grassy hills
The wagons and then their fancy quilts
The locks and keys, and the iron wills
I grab a seat until it fills
The fire burns and I'm the flame
Mentally I may drive you insane
You look in the mirror and who you became
Now touch the dirt, and say your name
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
Got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
The clock will stop at the turn of noon
Time is trapped with some fancy rune
I look outside and I see the moon
One way or another, I'll get there soon
Cold as hell and made of ice
Lost and now I need advice
On your heart, there is no price
On your soul, the spice of life
Alone and afraid to fail my dream
I'm right there but I'm never seen
Not one movie on the TV screen
Just a man that's stuck between
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
Got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
No idea if I'm even alive
I got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
A battle won for a broken heart
A king of spade or your ultimate card
Fixed or sewn you were ripped apart
Never knowing where you could start
The mountain roads and the grassy hills
The wagons and then their fancy quilts
The locks and keys, and the iron wills
I grab a seat until it fills
The fire burns and I'm the flame
Mentally I may drive you insane
You look in the mirror and who you became
Now touch the dirt, and say your name
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
Got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind
The clock will stop at the turn of noon
Time is trapped with some fancy rune
I look outside and I see the moon
One way or another, I'll get there soon
Cold as hell and made of ice
Lost and now I need advice
On your heart, there is no price
On your soul, the spice of life
Alone and afraid to fail my dream
I'm right there but I'm never seen
Not one movie on the TV screen
Just a man that's stuck between
The sun sets on a windy night
No idea if I'm even alive
Got a road I can take or hide
But reality it comes from behind

Author's Note
I have had a lot of issues but I'm looking to get back into it tomorrow with comments and being active in the community. This is nowhere near perfect. I just love the words. My problem has always been condensing things. Any feedback is welcome. Just know beforehand it isn't a finished product. I just wrote this 10 minutes ago so it's fresh. If you want to know what was going on I can tell you but I think I'm just going to try to move past my issue I had. Newbeginnings was good to talk to about this and he helped me get through it. I'm not perfect. I'm just one man and I couldn't control things. Again I'm not going to talk about my issues unless you want me to. I'm not looking for sympathy just understanding. I hope you like this and if so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

We all issues, so we write them in poem because it helps us get rid of negative energy inside of us. Keep on writing.

Thanks for that. My issues were more about my health. A lot happened in a short time and it was hell. A lot of my recent stuff isn't as good because it's been harder to concentrate. Still not fully healed but I'm ready to move past it.

I thought the writing is great. I could really feel it. I have also had some very challenging things happen recently so I can identify with that. I hope your troubles will be behind you soon.

Thank you I appreciate that. For me it's hope it's gone but I'm feeling better. So I think I'll be okay. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my piece.
