It’s a Long Road …
to all
and you know who you are
you know exactly
i just wanna say,
thank you
i gave you all i had
the best of me
and you squandered it
totally
no, this ain’t no pity
party
been to those
and this ain’t one of ‘em
this is jest an admission
a pause
to say, i’m grateful
i wasn’t always grateful
you know
thought why me
why is this happening to me
but life teaches you
why not
you’re no better or no worse
terrible things happen
whether you’re good or bad
whether you had breaks or you didn’t
whether you won or lost
whether you get it or you don’t
things happen
you get run over
it’s the ugly side of life
how horrible it can be
i saw it
i heard it
i felt it
the alarm went off too early
before i had a chance
to wake up
i was still asleep
still dreaming
still light
but it was too loud
the alarm was too loud
it screamed a sickening sound
i never went back to bed
i stayed awake
all the time
but on the day
my daughter appeared
i slept
i dreamed
i felt light
finally
i under
stood
