i can't parallel park
i didn't cry because i couldn't park
i didn't cry because i couldn't drive
it just so happened to hit
i wish my heart would've skipped
not because of the license
but because of
everything
it all just crumbled in one
one little mishap and the car drove itself
one little moment where i still blame myself
there was no crash
at least i hope there wasn't
there was no broken glass
could've sworn i saw it
i was just parking near my house- nowhere busy
so why did i break like that with no one with me
all the emotion came to the front
all my thoughts just slipped into one
the feeling of being alone, fragile, and scared
the feeling of having nobody that cared
and the thing is, i do
my family, my friends, my dog
they all love me so why did i fall?
maybe it's an anxiety attack
at least that's what he says
or maybe its just my feeling of existential dread
i don't mention it, but it keeps coming back
ready to stab me in the back
you know it's when you least expect it
but why now
