Driving
You know I usually hate to be alone
When I’m alone I don’t really feel alive.
But sometimes, I just wanna find my keys, get in my car, and drive.
And so I did that ( Maybe I needed to feel a little less alive)
And I drove around in the town that I live.
And thought about why it is I’m here.
I drove around listening to music loud; with my windows cracks and my guard down.
And I didn’t mind waiting at red lights… because I wasn’t in a rush.
I guess that’s a sign.. that you aren’t really driven− just nervous.
And uh… I saw a cop… I intentionally drove 12 miles over the speed limit.
Just hoping he’d pull me over−
Cause I couldn’t wait to say what I wanted.
When he gave some smart as comment−
Like,
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
I was gonna say the most honest thing I’ve said in weeks,
“Nowhere.”
I was picturing the puzzled look he’d have on his face−
Wondering why some girl would drive around at such a speed
When she had no one to meet,
Or uh no deadline to make.
Just driving and driving… and I couldn’t wait−
But that black and white cop car just drove right past…
And I wondered if I was invisible
Or he just didn’t care right now…
And I didn’t like that−
I wanted someone to be concerned that I was driving around
At 1 o clock in the morning… but he let me down−
You see I drove around with a cigarette in my mouth
And I don’t even smoke…
Just wanted to do some damage I guess
Just wanted myself to know−
That I need something different in my life…
Something that doesn’t make me want to drive in circles
That doesnt make me want to drive away.
What is a moep?
ReplyDeleteDid you want to get a ticket? Those can be expensive, I just paid one a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a smartass...
This is really great Chynna! Sometimes I enjoy driving without purpose, and the pressure of time constraints. I make such fascinating discoveries!
ReplyDeletejust kind of jumbled the letters of poem..
