this is my song

yet some of these verses

were not written by me

mine is no cautionary tale

heed your own warnings

but feel free to sing along

I was getting pretty good 

about feeling bad

a rut had become my groove

things I planned to do 

stared back from in front of me

hopes remained of leaving them behind as memories 

highways led me 

gravity always 

brought me back

who is recommending 

this correction

that has me cautious and concerned 

if I could only fly

I wouldn’t need

to run and hide
