A cat on a freeway

Sometimes I feel like a cat on a freeway
I don’t know which way to go
I feel so scared
Sometimes I feel so different
So different from those
Who pass me by
As I wave and yell
“Please help!”
But their not trying to hear me
Their trying to get to where they have to go
Whether I am there or not
Sometimes I feel like my choices
Are all ran out
That if one did come
That it’d lead me
In the same spot I’m in now
Therefore I have no choice
So what’ll happen if I give up
And run into the rushing river of cars
Will I become the same as the rest
Who wanted to be different
But got crushed by society to fit in
Or will I break down?
But I have faith
That night will come
And all will slow before me
I will step out confident
That I’ll be strong
That no words can run me over
And when I am away from those
Who’ll bring me down
Crush my hopes
And leave me as they proceed
I’ll become brave enough,
Strong enough, and confident
To step back in to the freeway
And help another
