The Car

Wait for a minute 

Check the speed limit

Why is it that I

Constantly ride

When I'm never

Allowed to drive

Why am I riding

in the back seat

Why are they driving

Instead of me

And I am fighting

Just to see

Where I am heading

And the life I lead

Ah!

They missed a turn

No just go straight

No GPS

I hear them say

"Just wait and see

Sit quietly"

But we're too fast

And I'm afraid we'll crash

Why am I riding

in the back seat

Why are they driving

Instead of me

And I am fighting

Just to see

Where I am heading

And the life I lead

I can't wait patiently

While they choose for me

Then they just disappear

And expect me to steer

Oh, but they never taught me how

So I start to freak out

Must I follow the signs

Have I broke the headlights

Help me I'm loosing my mind

I fear I've lost

my

mind.

Why did they leave me

in the back seat?

interesting take on the idea of authority. why we placed in the hands of people who give us every reason to point the finger at them and are very well unjust.

Only thing can be said is to change one's life for the better.
I was talking to person on the bus saying how we come from darkness to light in life if we choose to. Life is hard. Most people want it easy and realise either way that its hard work just to make up for one's mistakes. A cop sells you drugs and then arrests you for it. I know its messed up.
Put to think that anyones the ultimate authority in the matter of justice well. There's a word call being well and well off. so don't get arrested. and try your best to live a good life. good poem. and what they always taught in school try your best.

Nice! Reminds me of a song by Alvvays, 'how can I lose control when I'm driving from the backseat'.
I love the formatting, easy read but strong message.

This is a great piece.
It showcases a feeling of getting annoyed or neglected.
I must say you'll turn out a great story teller.
Keep writing:)

Wow there are many things and ways I can see and interperate this as, but the thing that stands out the most would be abandanment or however you spell it lol, I again love your rhyming because that is all I really do with my poems, beautiful piece I loved the flow of it, amazing.

Thanks! It is absolutely about abandonment, as well as a few other concepts
