The long road

Dreaming of the long road

Have you felt the pain,
of a dream that was never gained?

Now, maybe I'm no billionaire,
and I still don't care,
maybe I don't own plane
in my life I got carried away,
don't think I own a fast car
on the fast road I'm no threat,

Standing here in the dark, looking at the moon to spark,
no effect in my mind,
Here I go again, trying to go back,
even though back home I'm considered a fool,
maybe they're right, who knows?
Hiding behind a dream, thinking of some lie to tell them.

Daddies little girl wants a brand new car,
she's dreaming of an alibi,
"Honey I need you right now,
 you can't just drive as far as you need"
He wants her home with any expense


Early one morning the sun was shining,
a playboy woke up from his bed,
wondering if he's still the same, if his life was not away,
his folks never dreamed for all this, sure it was really rough
he never did like his mamas way of life, his papa's wasn't there enough
Heading off for the west coast, he had a dream getting through

Abandoned all his problems back home
looking in the mirror thinking back to his road
"Don't you think, I better be my way back home?"

Author's Note

We all dreamed of something big, we all thought that we're not average, that we're bigger than anything, maybe unbeatable, that's maybe true who knows? But then life hit like the express train, so we're still back to the basic plan, keep dreaming....(the poem has three main stories)

yes... it's a long road to dream... some gets lucky and climb first... and some gets the longer road, sometime it takes almost a lifetime to wait... well i have all the patience in the world... rushing things will not always ends up a good thing...

about the last stanza... yes... abandoning the problems is never really brings good result...

very expressive.. and i see what you meant... three different stories in one poem is brilliant!
