The Diesel Cage

The asphalt is endless, the dashboard lights are redDriving through the midnight with a monster in my head.Ten tons of steel, rolling through the pouring rainCounting every highway line to ease this heavy pain.I do it for my children, to put bread upon their slateGiving them a future while I gamble with my fate.But a question keeps on rising, a billion times or moreEchoing inside this cab, bouncing off the floor:Is it really worth it? Is it worth the sacrifice?Trading all my golden years for a corporate dollar price?The logical answer is a simple, hollow yesBut the real truth is a terrifying guess.A monstrous incognita that eats you to the boneDestroying your reflection while you navigate alone.It burns you from the inside, it turns your spirit coldA slow, silent execution before you even get old.And you get the brutal proof when you finally pull insideWalking through your own front door with nowhere left to hide.Your children look at you, but they do not see your faceYou are just a stranger walking through their empty space.You are just the paycheck, the shadow that providesThe financial machine where the lonely father hides.You are not the anchor, you are not the guide anymoreJust a ghost of maintenance standing by the door.So you cannot wait to leave, you cannot wait to runBack into the darkness, away from the rising sun.Because this rolling diesel cage is the only place you knowWhere the pressure disappears and the real feelings grow.At the highway truck stop, under the neon lightThe girls behind the counter recognize your eyes tonight.A massive paradox, a bitter, twisted gameIn a nameless autogrill, strangers know your name.So you turn the key again, you put it into gearSmell of heavy diesel, swallowing the fear.Back to the lonely road, with a thousand thoughts in towWatching the white highway lines moving fast and slow.Lost inside the matrix, running from the painMaybe this is freedom.Driving in the rain.Nature always wins.And the road goes on!
