Road on My Mind

When you say it’s life, you’d say it happens

When you say it’s trouble, you’d say it’ll pass

Roads are taken yet no one’s certain

To which it’ll lead, smile or pain

How I’d wish to control time and feelings

Grasp the air, With my own will

Revenge, hatred, betrayal and distaste

Seems to be an everyday meal

I walk this path alone,

With all the baggage, life has to offer

As much as I’d want to let it go

And leave things behind my tired spine

It seems it wouldn’t be an option

For I know what’s next,

Chaos, more betrayal, more pain, more burdens

An exaggeration of the Road on my Mind.

I push myself up,  they pull me down

Ask me why I shall answer a million reason

Content, a simple word so ironic as it may sound

Let them be, cause their time will come.

Really beautifully written, Levijoan! :)
Roads take us to mysterious places, they give us pain, but they also give us plenty of opportunities.
I especially loved the first and third stanza, I thought you wrote those two exceptionally well. Keep up the good work, I will be sure to review more of your work in the future as I love everything so far.
I would appreciate it if you could check out some of my pieces. Thank you so much for posting :)
Love and Warm regards,
Mira.

I feel the emotion and desperation in your eloquent poem. "Chaos, more betrayal, more pain, more burdens"-it never seems to stop. excellent metaphor-"Roads are taken yet no one's certain.." "I push myself up, they pull me down"-very touching. Don't let them get you down & keep writing!

This poem has something that it wants to say and it says it. But I feel as if it has more that it wants to say.
