Poems - The Road To Rome

The Road To Rome

by Justinpdrew

We were walking along the beach at night,
I saw a shooting star and I wished that maybe soon
Our lips could cut through the bullshit;
Finally make a proper introduction.
I wished that you would fall in love with me
But it never happened.

Now tell me this:
What do I have left to believe in
When I can't believe in the impossible anymore?
I've been waiting here for a miracle to save me.
Have I been waiting in vain?

And what is wrong with me
That I keep believing the unbelievable?
Thinking I'm a character in a lame fantasy novel
Expecting my long-lost uncle to show up,
Tell me that I'm magic, hand me my wand,
And bring me to some strange land
Free from the chill of reality.

I'm beginning to realize
That if I'm going to ever be
Who it is I want to be,
It's my job to lay the foundation.

Change is not instantaneous;
You can't be somebody else all at once.
It's changing something small about you,
One tiny thing at a time, every single day,
And eventually you'll find yourself becoming
The you that you want to be.

And maybe when I'm on the other side of the coccoon,
And life as a caterpillar was just a dream,
Maybe when I'm a butterfly I can have you.
