Clear drive


It rains with a clear sky in my car

Windows down blocking my path

Crashing into what I kno

With what I want

Roads open take your toll

I took sanity 

They took my roles 

Poles and action figures

The only things I looked up to

I blinded myself with mom’s curfew 

Streetlights came on

And dimmed my vision

Friends gathered around 

Friends with benefits came in town

Laughter goes on downstairs 

A party next door 

Wine gets passed around 

Children laugh with adults

The world is happy 

I am not
