Road Kill

I can’t make it I’ll never make it I don’t like risks But I know I must take it The dreams I’ve always had Now my life is on the line Pull your body together now The body that I know is mine This is my destiny My future lives or dies This separates the others From who stands or lies It’s closing in Judgment day is near The moment of truth The starting point is here I have to make up my mind I sit here and hesitate The path is right in front of me No longer can I wait My hoofs clop onto the road I must reach my goal I must fulfill my dreams Or climb back into my hole I start my journey Tunnel vision to the place I want to be I can see my destination It’s lying just ahead of me This is my destiny My future lives or dies This separates the others From who stands or lies It’s closing in Judgment day is near The moment of truth The starting point is here I’m running now It’s not too far away Nothing is gonna stop me now I am here to stay I hear a roar in the distance Bright lights blind my vision I stop dead in my tracks And I’m greeted by a huge collision Flying weightless through the air My face crushes into the floor Staring at my destiny sideways My life is nevermore That was my destiny This is where my future dies Separated from the others I am the one who lies Lying on the pavement It’s no use I realize No use in fighting now So I just close my eyes .........................................................................................Written 2003, age 13
