I Drove Into the Night

I drove into the night Under the street light I journeyed into my mind Trying so hard to find A reason to accept my life A reason to admit to my crimes I drove deeper into the night I tried hard but nowhere could I find Reasons for accepting my life Reasons for owning my crimes I drove faster, deeper into the night I decided to turn off the lights I decided I could not own my crimes I decided I could not live a lie I drove harder, deeper, faster into the dark Then everything turned so very black But tied to the point of my demise was me No body, no life, not free Here I stay where my conscience haunts me.

Nice poem, I can relate in my own way. Some good metaphors too.
