This Road by Gio

I been traveling on this road too long
says Justin T.

But to me
Iz kinda ture
I cant find I80 East

So I please

Beg the Lord
Or anybody who created us
I know mistrust,
misuse, and abuse
But cant shake it up

Or tear it down

My head is in the clouds
I put this smoke to my mouth
And I wonder who I am
North is up Im goin south

I know I'm Giovanni
Mnay people know Gio
But they cant see the troubles
or struggles
They see me through a key hole

A select few know me
and know what Im about
But still they doubt
the persona I show
Skeletons keep commin out

How could they not?
A cemetery isnt enough to hold mines
I did things, seen Shit
Other people have nightmares about

But as I said
It's a long road
I wonder where it ends
Im only 20
July 2 was the day
my life began

Or it started to end

It's a half empty
Half full thng
This glass is full of pain and suffering
But empty of new dreams

I wanna follow the Northern Star
See where it takes me
I've followed this dirt road too long
I've played the safety

But I cant see straight
When I look up in the sky
I see polluted clouds of tobacco
and emptiness in my life

But guys
You've gotta look to the future
U're alive and kicking
which says more than about that rooster

Or that dog, or that goat
they dont have a choice in this life
They follow rules and guidance tools
that make everything seem alright

Cuz they eat, Shit, and die
Whcich we all do as well
but we can tell if it's too nasty
Tell the owner go to hell

And tell society you have pride
Tell your parents whats on your mind
Many of us walk a thin line
Between livin and dyin

Well I'm tired of that life
I know we all are
but its not droppin in our laps
U gotta get up and chase that star

or aim for the moon
Atleast u'll land among the clouds
if you miss
But dont decist
Cuz u can always stand up proud

And let them know
how far you got
Shit forget "them"
U'll be oh so proud of YOU
That YOU and YOU
can make amends

Spray some water on this dusty road
and clean the Shit off
You cant get off it?
Then control it,
Trust me
You'll be
Much better off

-Gio

Hey Giovannie I love this poem so much I bookmarked it in my favorites.
This is an example of our feelings and emotions stopping us from reaching our full potential.

Damn man, I just read the whole thing and that's some deep sh** right there. I like the metaphor in the glass half full half empty you used. Good work man!
