I Wanted to Brake
The first time my hands
Touch the steering wheel, I give
It over to god
So I can say it’s not
My responsibility
For each kid I kill
The lost reflection
Of child-me at this church in
Puddles, hit and run
When mama turned up
Music on the highway
Until we both screamed
Now I know every
Roadside cross is a mirage
Of faith, illusion
Now I’m scared of cars
And afterlifes and child-me
Headed wherever
One thought on "I Wanted to Brake"

I agree, driving is absolutely terrifying
