The Pavement

The Pavement

My mind is clouded
The air is thick
And I speak with frustrated hands

For though the pieces
Fall into place
There are those who won't understand

My heart hurts to know
They don't agree
But it's not their decision to make

My eyes, they can see
The growth that came
While all they see is the mistake

So I run from them
Feet on pavement
My eyes facing firmly ahead

I never look back
Just breathe and step
Because pavement's thoughts go unsaid
