Dreams of Concrete
September 8, 2012
Concrete never looked so soft
As I sit here on a bypass
My legs are dangling off it's edge
While I'm reminiscing of the past
I am dreaming of my younger self
When I was free and innocent
I still am
But no one believes it
So many rumors
Which are untrue
Spread like butter
And stick like glue
It's been continuing for so long
I have a chance to leave this misery
But as I look down
I become dizzy
I then exhale
Knowing it's wrong
I will face my enemies
Knowing that I am strong
