Amy Thurston - The Road

A Road.
Twisting and curving just about.
Throughing you to newplaces.
Watch out! It may hurt.
Changes of the life.
Where life is no crystal stare.
A road of sorrow and strength.
Where I have gone before.
Places of no tomorrow.
Places where you work for a life. Not a living.
An area of just trying to make a way.
The road that is dark and scary.
The road everyone looks on you to lead.
Peer pressure, drugs, achol.
Watch those, too!
Do you know who's been down that road?
Landston Hughes, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., everyone.
I've been that road.
