Buckle Up

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. - Thoreau

naked in emotion

overdressed in pride

am i driving

or just along for the ride

please tell me

so i know which seat

so i can be complete

speeding down a highway of indignation

obscured by diabolical dismay

tell me quickly before vanity brags

and i find out there are no airbags

Author's Note

"Life isn't about finding yourself; it's about creating yourself. So live the life you imagined." - Thoreau
