Keep on Truckin
A Poem
Keep on truckin
You create nothing but destruction
Nothing of value
Putrefied pontification
Of what you think is best for the nation
Wasting your life on hate
Rather than focusing on being great
Life is too short
To care that much about the small things
The little choices
People make for themselves
To delve into their lives
To decide who gets husbands
And who gets wives
Worst of all
Is believing your own lies
But not seeing that you’ve fallen in to your own trap
It’s a wrap
You can’t even standby
What you said last time
Memories faded
Into a thousand streams
Bleeding constantly into our dreams
Of the future
That will never come
If you keep beating that drum

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
