A Bump In The Road

A Bump In The Road

A Poem by Eli
"

Sometimes we feel down...

"

A dream can be misleadin and so often we're concedin to that lie
It's so easy to believe all the things in history cause it's not for us to go searchin for those truths
So you're down and your mood is fallin' away from this groove of yours
Don't hate yourself for believin' every thing you do

 

You see the lie is in your mind that your life is never fine
but it's believin that you can still go your own way
that you find proper meanin' in the things everyone says

 

No we're none of us perfect and wonderin' eyes will always tell you so
but when I lie I feel ashamed and disloyal to you
I can't justify it all time
but when you cry I feel compelled to the truth

 

It's not okay that I lied
It's okay for you to scream
It's okay for you to doubt everything
but just for a minute
then you have to come to
and place your head upon my heart and search for the reason you chose to move on before

 

You believed in your dreams that the world is not all misleadin'
and with every ounce of dignity
you'd walk out the door with your integrity
you'd be the best damn you you could ever be
which is why im goin away
