In The Middle Of The Road

I'm not sure...another thing I do.

I'm sitting in the middle of the road

Right between the big bold yellow lines.

On my heart is a heavy load

But above me the big bright sun shines.

 

When my worlds is crashing down

I try to hold my head up high.

Even when I have to frown.

Baby I won't say goodbye.

 

I'm gonna rock out

Until I drop dead,

Until my lungs give out,

Even when I'm out of my head.

 

I was put here to live my life,

That's what I'm going to do!

Gonna cut the apple with a different knife.

Gonna fall in love with someone true.

 

I'm sitting here in the middle of the street

Watching the street light flip.

Thinking of where I'll go

On my next big trip.

 

I'm don't know my true love right now

But I'll meet him someday.

I don't know where or how

But he'll take my breath away.

 

I don't know where I"ll end up in life

So here I'll sit in the middle of the road

Living life for the moment.

I'll keep writing each & every ode

On how much all of this meant

To me.

I think it is awesome... that's right you need to live life a bit on the edge and take risks or you will never know what you could have done or might have been... this piece rocks my soul!!

Gonna cut the apple with a different knife.

i liked that.

ive been trying to figure out what to say to you for some time. I can see where your going with stuff but it just doesnt do it for me, sorry.
and i figured it out

stop trying to rhyme.
you can get through so much better and have more opportunity to be way more creative if you just write whats in your head instead of trying to find words that rhyme with eachother.

just a thought.

Very, very good. You put me right there next to you, and I like the emotional journey that you seem to go through during the poem, and I like its destination.

I love the imagery, the feeling you convey in this one! It also has such a hopeful tone, reaching for the brightness of what will be your future even in the midst of present frustrations. Powerful.. Well done!!!

This was really cute - a true depiction of the struggle to be happy & take advantage of life even when things aren't going your way. =) This was a sweet, simple poem that captured these feelings. Great job!

I got the feeling that when you wrote this you allowed yourself to be free of restraints that otherwise would have held you back." I'm gonna cut the apple with another knife?" where did that line come from ? It's great! The whole poem was full of this kind of creativity and free flowing thought yet gave me graphic images of life contimplation , dreams to come , bridges not yet crossed. Great work !! I loved every bit of it.

Wow this was so true and loving. I felt so optimistic reading this. I can relate to it so much. You are such a great writer. I just love how it's talking about someone going and not stopping no matter what stands in the way. Most poems are kind of suicidal where they talk about wanting to die just because they didn't get the love they wanted or whatever they wanted. I love your writing and it's so amazing. Good job!
