My Road


I try every day to do what is right,

But every time I try I feel like I have to fight.

While I sit here, I’m trying to find the light.

What is going on . . . I swear I don’t bite.

What is right, what is wrong,

I’m trying to find out while I’m writing along.

My whole life, I thought I was lied to.

And who knows, what if I had it all wrong.

I have no hate for anything that has happened,

The whole world, I thought was hating,

But all that hate was coming from Satan.

I want to love everyone.

You know what, its already done.

Know matter your color, no matter your belief,

I don’t care if you don’t eat beef.

But, I thought what was right is independent of belief

How will I know if I don’t follow a commander and chief.

If I don’t have a leader to tell me,

Somewhere I can pay my fee.

But how will I ever figure out.

I always seem to be on the same route.

I feel I am running out of time,

While I am thinking up all this stuff in a rhyme.

We are losing time and it’s getting so hard.

It even feels like I might be scared.

While I am questioning everything that I’ve got,

And every little thing that I was taught.

I am just trying to see the bigger picture,

We are altogether, we are all just one big mixture.

How will I know if I am on the right road.

It is so hard trying to decipher this code.

All I know is what seems good to me.

Loving everyone, that seems to be the key.

All the pain that I thought I was feeling

But now, I think I am finally healing.

 Now I’m getting out of bed every morning

And I’m no longer building up the pain, I am no longer storing.

Thank you everyone that has helped me through this,

I love everyone, especially you sis
