Revolutionary Road

Roads don’t just appear they are laid down

I will lay my own if I have to

So screw your slave to wage attitude

Screw your have to have a lover or a wife

way of life

screw your pathetic, apathetic way of thinking

screw your drinking and drug taking for kicks

there must be more to this damned life than that!

Screw your buying of home or flat

It will become your prison

from which you never break free

screw your reality

screw me I might be insane

but where is the sanity

in living life with no freedom or original thoughts

I Can tell you settled down because it was easier then being alone!

Found a home cause it was easier than travelling

But can’t you find your life unravelling

Now your wandering what happened to the teenage rebel you used to see the mirrior

No one can take away your dreams

But you can ignore them and bury them under concrete

But they will still haunt you

I cant live like you trapped in silent desperation….

A sardonic poem that's abouts as true to life as you can get.
"but where is the sanity

in living life with no freedom or original thoughts"

Those words really got to me and I agree totally.
Congrats

Josh.

Thanks to you all
To Darren;
I wrote this poem as a rant against myself for believing in the rubbish that society tries to enforce on us through social norms I was asked recently if there was anyone romantically "on the scene" I said no I don't think happiness always lies in being a couple or being in love I actually think there is alot of pain involved with being in love!
society enforces pier pressure on anybody who is different. And tries to force them to conform I hate that! I want to be happy but I would rather lead a life of meaning if nothing else where I make my own path or road and walk it!

Good stuff.

Hi Daniel - I can't argue with your reasoning and the content. You make some wry observations. Wasn't sure if this was aimed at one person in particular or it's a general theme - or both maybe?

Particularly like this line:

'I Can tell you settled down because it was easier then being alone!'

How very true.
