Young Man

 As the young man takes a seat he slowly sinks into deep thinking

wishing he could erase his past and quit drinking

as he takes a trip down memory lane

he drives along a street called joy but soon comes to a dead end called pain

just last week his girlfriend said goodbye

and being a real man he put aside his pride and started to cry

wishing so much he could travel back in time

just to make a few changes so that everything will be fine

filled with sadness he thinks he lost the girl of his dreams

thinking he is now a nobody well at least that’s what it seems

its about time this young man made a U-turn

time for him to realize he has a lot to learn

he now starts to work harder every day

its a new year and he receives a promotion in May

on his way home from work guess who he sees

its his ex girlfriend and she falls to her knees

he asks her what’s this all about

and she answers him saying you my only way out

he tells her that the day she left him he promised himself he would never go back

she now starts to cry and tells him that she’ll change and stopping smoking crack

he tells her unfortunately its a little too late

and he wishes her the best but as for him its a new life that he is looking to create

so sad that this is how it had to be

but new vision is what came upon him and now he sees clearly

he now gets back into his car in this case being his mind

putting in gear his conscience waiting to see what he will soon find

whether I’m speaking straight forward or metaphorically

this could make you smarter so dress your mind accordingly

the young man starts to live a new life

starts getting things together and sooner than later finds a wife

his blessings are now more than abundant

and he thinks to himself how the old choices he made were really so redundant

you never know when change will come around

and listening to the singing of your heart can be a life changing sound
