Roadblocks and Resilience

Lost on the road, trying to find my way

Broken plans, just another day

Gotta keep moving, won’t let it fade

Looking for a sign, to break these chains

Had a plan, two-faced and flawed

A road to freedom, I once saw

Car keys in my hand, dreams within call

But the breakdown hit, now I stall

PTSD hits hard, memory’s reign

Trauma’s grip, it’s a heavy chain

DoorDash’s my way, steady and plain

Eight weeks down, feeling the strain

I just wanna drive, leave these hills behind

Rev up my soul, a new way to find

Phase one’s the SUV, breaking the bind

Phase two’s the RV, peace of mind

Roadblocks and hurdles, they try to stop

Every step forward, a mountain to top

Moving from place to place, don’t wanna flop

Hoping for a sign, let my heart pop

Car back in my hands, freedom’s call

Gotta get back up, stand tall

One step closer, after all

My journey’s mine, I will not fall
