The Road

We are all on our own road

By Jae QilinPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Driving forward with your windows up

music blaring, you miss your turn

so you drive ahead without caring

You don't know what you're about to learn

Sometimes there's a lot to lose

but more to earn

Keep it quiet, keep it tight

in the middle of the night

Start the joint with a flame

and watch it burn

it takes your breath away

but then you're too far

You need to change direction

go back to the turn you missed

because your friend can't take it

It's too late in the night

Parents are ready for a fight

You dont feel bad, still glad

from the buzz you caught

you head back

Another lad grabs his pack

Start the joint and watch it burn

what did you learn?

You laughed and enjoyed it

another day, another buzz

You stay there too late

but you make it home safe

like always
