The bus.



Life has its boundaries.
 One day
I almost found me
Crossing bridges
I jumped off one
By accident.
It was a bold decision.
They threw me in prison.
I wish I was free then.
I was for a while
At least in my mind.
Some days
It’s hard to find.
Freedom in the grind.
It was emotional.
The pain I felt.
When I crossed the line
No one helped.
It was total lonliness
Not to mention darkness.
When the demon approached me.
Wish someone was there.
To coach me.
I swear I’m gonna move
To the coast.
Yes please.
Maybe the changing of the wind
Will be a healthy decision.
I wasn’t thinking right.
When I went off path.
It must have been
My own wrath.
Life was alright.
No really, it was all good
Until I made a bad choice.
To raise my voice.
It was in the name of truth.
Sometimes people can’t handle it.
I thought I had proof.
Then poof.  
I was under arrest.
It was over a decision.
 When in prison.
I discovered my reason.
 After serving time
She had found a new love.
His name was Steven.
At first I didn’t like him.
Later on
I was happy for them.
She deserved to be happy.
I was still upset
With my arresting officer.
Even though I was drunk and disorderly
He messed with me
I shouldn’t have punched him
It was a bad choice.
Sure, I raised my voice
About the government
Maybe I was wrong.
At least it became
A beautiful song.
God bless you all.
I’m gone.
Goodbye.
See you
On the other side.
May you be blessed
All of you
Even the rest of us
Who are still riding
The bus.
