To Find Myself

I drive down the road
Into the woods
To find myself
Amongst the leafless trees
And cold winter breeze

I listen to old songs
Flashbacks to my childhood
Always pop in my head

Road trips to San Diego
Sitting in the backseat
While my dad blasts
Bob Dylan on repeat

Listening to a favorite
Song on my iPod
In the living room
My grandmother sitting on
The couch with a book
I whisper the bad words
Under my breath
Like I’m committing a sin
Singing along

These moments are etched
In my memories
Until the end of time
Every time I hear the lyrics
They take me back
I smile
