night drive to nowhere

heartshapedglasses

Not a single place to be

No obligation, somehow free

Yet one hand is on the wheel

The other looking for something, anything to feel

The hours between today and tomorrow

The sky dark, resembling my sorrow

Never will I check how fast

No point, I will still be last

The street signs tell me where to go

But deep down I still do not know

Aimless driving, wasting gas

Covering distance just to make time pass

I am in motion but my thoughts pause

With the exception of analyzing my flaws

Tears stream down my face

No, no, no just finish the race
