Road-Block

What to do What to say Jump in my car I’ll run away From all the confusion All the craziness Yet all the insanity Leave, away Tank’s nearing “E” Out of money A growl deep in my belly Reminds me again I pull to the roadside Cars pass without A glance The caution lights Throw an eerie glow No music, no ears Only silence I ran But my thoughts, my past Still followed from behind Dancing in my car Around my head They utter words, phrases My scream fills the air I look at my hands See what I’m holding The clay discolors my skin I mold, then destroy It’s temporary existence How I wish my life Were this easy I could make it however Then erase it And start again But my life’s not that pliable There’s no erasing and redoing My thoughts bounce off my head Step out of my car Slam the door On my fears And walk Once again away From it all
