cross country gypsy
















many of miles i have traveled
from the midwest to the south
from the west coast
to the mountains of the east coast
i have seen a lot of scenery
mountains, deserts, lakes
sky lines, cloud formations
small towns and big cities
met a lot of people
from friends to business coworkers
have yet to make any real place a home
not sure where home is
i can take off on the pavement at any time
and begin yet another road trip
that isn't a round trip, again
with my current situation i am not sure
of what i should do or where i should go
do i give up on what God gave me
or fight for the future of a child
leaving again will only prolong his anger
yet staying could be a waste of time
the roads that cross our country await me
yet i want to make a stable life for me
here, not far from home
find stability and build respect back
earn the love of a youngster who hates me
selfishness or selflessness
which one will end in a more positive decision
no matter what i chose
what i do
where i end up
my determination is still strong
i am still trying to figure out
why i am here in this world
and what my life is all about
i dont want to be this person you see
but be the man i am inside that has yet to evolve
the pavement awaits me
whether it be across town
or across the country
the gypsy is still alive.
