"A Bumpy Ride"
Written By C.N. Young
Wanting to explore the world that's yours.
Wanting to explore everything that seems to be apart of you.
Being told what to do and how to do something
when you know they're wrong.
Being told how to live your life and how to make decisions.
People holding you down and likes to keep you that way.
You are criticized and ridiculed.
You're down and out.
You're trying to steer straight ahead.
Making a life of your own.
Wanting to explore the world in your own way.
Along the ride you are scarred and discouraged.
No support of any kind.
Struggling to find your destination.
Struggling to keep steering straight.
Holding tight onto the steering wheel hitting bump after bump wishing,
hoping you won't end up in a ditch of some kind.
A fork in the road, which leads two paths.
A right route and a wrong route.
Which is the right and which the wrong?
People yelling left and people yelling right.
It's for you to decide not them.
Who are they to tell you what's right and what's wrong?
Leading a life of your own isn't an easy thing.
There are trials and tribulations.
The road of life has many twist and turns.
Many bumps that knock you down.
But, through it all you gotta stand tall and proud.
No one ever said life was easy.
