Going down the emotional road
no one at the wheel
Not a good deal
Looking back wishing I could
grab control
Take us where we want to go
---
---
Instead two children
fighting in the back seat
When will we get there!
we scream
No grown up around
Minds confused
tempers real
Tires squeal
---
---
Going too fast
want to open the door
and jump out
But my heart is there
wish I didn’t care
tension in my body
and in the air
---
---
No seat belts to defend us
nothing to grip on to
---
---
The pavement never ending
confused hurt feelings sending
me to a place I do not want to go
Help me!
I scream
no one to hear me…
---
I want to let go
but no
I hang on
like a water skier who’s lost her board
lids flapping in the lake
Release your hold!
they all yell
Easier said than done…
---
---
Is it a dead end street
no hope for us to complete
Will we take this to our graves
Broken hearted and alone
Will we ever graduate
from kindergarten
Or be spoiled little brats
forever.
