If I follow this path will it lead to my future?
Or will it lead to the real world?
But, the world be changin' constantly.
I mean, the world is constantly changin'.
Naw, the world is just changin'.
All this rearrangin'.
It just feels so strange and,
my mind is growin' strong,
my short livin' seems so long and,
my mama's askin' what's wrong,
but it's so hard to see what's goin' on.
Life for me ain't been no straight shot.
It's been full of windin' roads,
deep curves,
and u-turns.
Heavy loads,
bad nerves,
and cigarette burns.
I'm verbally achin',
my thoughts are mentally shaken.
Why must I awaken,
to this frightened and unenlightened reality.
Jus' let me sleep and dream of the present time,
rather than the past.
Because time is winding down fast.....
Time is winding down fast.....
Time is winding down,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1,
fast!
Reason for writing:
My inspitration came from within. I was feeling like my life was at a stand still. Most of these words came to me while I was asleep. When I woke up, I just started writing. I didn't stop until I felt like I had some closure on that subject.
