Driver Of The Year

poem by: Samantha Johnson
Written on May 12, 2015

Motor hot still running
The city falls asleep
Souped up revved out to the max
Frozen to your seat
Blow a head, crash and burn
It’s all on the line
Pushing life into the red
For a little extra time
Fuel is low tempers high
It simmers at the core
Then one day it erupts
Bursting through the door
Anger opens up itself
Oozing hate and fear
No reasoning no sorry
No driver of the year 
What’s your choice, it’s on you
The road it twists and turns
Only one way at a time
The lesson’s there to learn
Cry you don’t get what you need
Hiding in your shell
Marinating in your guilt
A living world of hell
Snap yourself out of it
We all know good and bad
We all have to deal with it
So grow up, be a man.
