Where Do I Go To Now

Its over now the hustle and bustle of school is gone, acquaintances forgotten, dreams lost, where do I go to now?

Loves won and lost, friends undying loyalties have vanished like the setting sun over the horizon.

Lives maze of puzzles faces me square in the face and a world of reality grips me like never before.

Your not a boy any longer so you had better go get a job.

Work son work, the beer is fine down my way a thrill for a buck is all you pay.

In the corner there if you can find your way; there’s a balloon to burst to send you on your way.

If you want there’s a drug or two to ease your day, only your life may be the price you have to pay.

Oh where do I go to now?

Who shall I meet and on which day will it be, woman, beast or thing to help me on my way?

I’ve heard the trek is hard and the road is small, but surely the maze will end some day.

Please tell me which road and which way?

With questions in mind I start the new day but different from all my yesterdays.

Only my soul can pave the new way, can I bear to ask should I stay?

Oh as I sit questioning my will, I only know my soul, and my mind only wants to be free.

A simple task, but where do I go to now?
