The Roads Remain the Same

A poem by Tyler Golec

Where we are matters some

Who we are with matters more

Until the facade has faded

Then you are on a road once more

–

All roads are the same

The places change

The people change

The road remains the same.

–

Some know, but some are lost.

But we kept on our determined march,

It is just around the next bend

Or, perhaps the one after that

–

But all roads are the same

The places change

The people change

The road remains the same.

–

Seeing much, ages you

For better or for worse.

When we travel endless roads,

What did we find

where are we now?

–

I hope you found people

How many did you leave behind?

–

All roads are lonely

The places change 

The people change, 

The roads remain the same

–

The apartment

The hotel

As empty, just the same

The roads never change
