LEFT TURN
Left turn, left turn 4 straight times,
I'm on an oval with no finish line.
Unanswered questions racing thru my mind, u drove away and took love's exit sign, and left me behind with left turn, left turn 4 more times.
No one goes thru life without making mistakes, You put your pride aside and face the trouble you make. When you hold someone's heart you hold life's highest stakes. Then you treat me like a pitstop, my emotions ain't fake.
Like the myth of Sisyphus and his uncompleatable task, love moved slowly up the mountain but fell real fast, now I'm caught in the Minataur's maze doomed to retrace the past, to escape the unescapable is all that i ask. Love once invincible, unbreakable, now shattered like glass.
Cuz these left turns are a bad design, let's take a right turn to the finish line. The only oval would be a diamond with brilliant shine. We'd ride away together, and leave the Left Turns behind.

takes a lot of left turns
to find that right path, I've found
kinda jealous of the left handed
with their southpaw, advantages
in our boxing rings of life...
(another relatable read, dear poet
thank you)
I was frustrated because what I thought was great, she didn’t , and she didn’t feel I was due an explanation. I dislike NASCAR and it was on when I visited a friend and I felt frustrated while watching them go round and round and realized that feeling reminded of how I felt when she left. The piece I wrote spoke to that uniquely similar frustration.
i'm jealous of your capacity to self excavate
and translate life's trauma into relatable art..
sometimes, we need to realise
half of our access to that better in life
is in earning the wisdom to decipher, who
really fits-in with our needs, rather than wants
thereby, allowing us to make better choices
when affording people access to our heart..
it need not be us that needs to change
rather the perception of our worth
we need to comprehend, we deserve the best
life can give, and find patience enough to wait
(or at least that's what i think, but what do i know)
thanks for sharing, dear poet
Such an excellent and well thought out response. Much appreciated.
Love can be elusive, and it really sucks when the door swings only one way. But they say everyone has someone out there. May your search be rewarded making it worth your wait.
