I was roadkill

Left to rot

I was roadkill

Then I was not

I was disconnected from life

Others ignoring the lifeless bodies on the roads

I was destined for more

But then I was roadkill

Rumble strips and salt licks

No refuge or shelter

I was roadkill

Left to not

We have risen from the road

Taking destiny no more

I was roadkill

Then I was not
