Face stuck in a dull stare
Windows wide open
Skin tingling to the cold midnight air
I think
I contemplate
I let things settle in
I mull over life’s matters
And look closely at the hands I’ve been given
Am I really living?
I drive along
The radio plays loudly
But I don’t hear its song
Too many thoughts
Too many dreams
Do I have what I sought?
Is everything what it seems?
A quick glance from the roads
The stars shine down so brightly
But thoughts
Clutter my head
They occur heavily
They occur nightly
I drive faster
Thoughts race through my mind
They seem like a disaster
Much like my car if I don’t slow down when the roads wind
Peaceful outside
Loud inside
Nothing ever makes sense when I’m out on my midnight ride
Drove past my destination
Just kept driving
Without hesitation
Thoughts flood in
They don’t put out any fires
As my mind is still a blazin’
I take the U-turn
I head home
My mind still burns
A peaceful craze
The road is my own
Clear vision will rise
Out of the foggy haze
Not tonight
But maybe someday
Just keep driving down the road
Eventually I’ll get there
I can only hope
At least that’s what I’ve been told
