4:30 am most days When I wake And it only Takes seconds To remember Second failed marriage And the need To Suck it up And move on... Both times My fault I settled.. When I knew I shouldn't. My need to please.. From long ago. Brutal hour and twenty minute Commute.. But cradled in The arms of People who Love me. All black most days... Dressed for the city.. In the city.. City busy.. City weary. All my mistakes Cloud my head. But on that Commute home.. When I leave The interstate And hit the Two lane.. I feel the shift.. I turn off the air.. Roll down the windows.. Smell that black dirt. Feel the open space. I slip off my heels Drive barefoot... Wind blowing Messing' up my City hair. Turn the music up Remember who I am.. And promise myself.. No more settling. This time It's all me. |
