Passenger Seat

I felt inspired to write this when i was listening to the song Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots one time

bumps and jolts eat away at my mind

each disturbance sticks the knife farther into my brain

quiet makes everything usually unheard scream

there's no running away from it

i'm driving but getting nowhere

gripping the wheel tighter

no hiding behind the melodic mask this time

and in its place, the one thing i can't handle

sits in my passenger seat

i scream to cripple the muteness that consumes me

but it grows like a parasite

slowly stealing more and more of my mind away from me

until all that's left is an empty driver's seat

a crash

the silence is gone now

Intense and haunting! I don't know the song you were listening to, but not sure I would want to hear it now! The imagery is powerful in this poem. Very well written.
