Rolling Days


Same day....different shit! With the wind whistling and the heat off the road glistening, I may act like Im not but Im still listening. I heard my share of loud screams and please no more bad dreams, The truth is far away but yet so close it seems. It makes for a sad day when I loose my way, I turn back to what works and neel down and simply pray. My innocence is gone and life is no longer long, I often have to check myself to keep from doing wrong. Is the hopes of a good life lost shall I wait for another holocaust, I reach and grab but still lost. The fights I fought were lessons taught, ;Many mistakes Ive made but never caught. Still taking blame and pushing for fame, I know right from wrong but Im still untamed. Not much left but pride Im needing a guide, l still deny it behind the lies I hide. Getting hurt and betrayed by others, I always hang on and always appreciate my mother. Theres lies that are filling my heart and head, Through all of these years alot of innocent blood has been shed. My children abandoned lonely and stranded, Seems Im wasting the life Ive been handed. Ive struggled and starved and lived with the poor, I try and fight I just wanna be free, but always end up starting a war. Alot of poeple dear to me die or get killed, creating a void that can never be filled, I pay close attention to the souls that are tilled. Im in search of peace in the most discreet way, knowing theres so many that dont have a clue what I say. But if your one that understands the words I write, then perhaps youve experienced one of those nights. When you want to hold on to the day that youve had but morning is coming fast and its gonna be bad. Hit that train head on as if it was snow cause if you let it take your tracks youll never move forward and those are the facts! M.Ronk
