Take the Big Step


This, not too long ago was a big impact being free was too much responsibility still young, only saw the colorful things in life, didn't care about consequences didn't care about the costs didn't care about the pain still childish and immature. Going behind the wheel was a big joke; blacking out in a second, shoved down the street hearing the faded sirens the voice yelling out to wake up waking up to an ambulance to parents' face filled with disappointment shame and sadness, to cops writing a ticket seeing blurry, but understanding word by word a beginning of a new life completely different, completely changed. There's a time and place for everything fooling around doesn't go behind the wheel unexpected things can happen in a heartbeat it's better to live with curiosity then dying and knowing what caused it. Be smart, take the big step, and know the consequences.
