Night Drives

I actually used to do this... I have no idea why. I guess because there was no other way to deal with the endless thoughts, worries, and just life in general.

Around and around the loop,
wasting gas, time and sleep.
The music pounds into my soul and
back around I go.
Night drives.
My imagination is alive, my body wired
and my heart aching for a destination.
Stopping for a drink would require
my foot to touch the brake,
and I just can't do that.
Something drives me to go on and on.
The sun will come up soon, and
it will all end just as it begin.
I'll wonder why I drive when others sleep,
why I let my mind get the best of me.
As the sun sets, off I go again.
Around and around.
