Driven

Headlights carve a path
Into the late night
As the backdrop scenery
Blurs
Eerie skyline at midnight
With no moon in sight
Resonates a foreboding
Gloom

As the heavy petal
Meets screaming metal
This craving for speed
Accelerates, fueling my needs

With a machine hand
And a crushing grip on fear
This paranoia is more than I can stand
As my bipolar reactions shift gears

Driving me insane

Fuel injected veins
Networked to a gasoline heart
I can’t stop the train
Of these thoughts as they spark

As the road merges into one lane

My heart is darkly ridden
And my life is as such
By this madness I am driven
As I slam down the clutch

Here comes the driving rain

The car slips and slides
I fight for control
Which I cannot derive
Careening through signs and potholes
This is the end of the road I surmise

And now, devastating pain

Flipping on its side
I can’t get a grip
There’s nowhere else to hide
All my senses trip
Marking the end of this ride

Within inches of termination
There is only one final question:
Why’d I do it?
You drove me to it
