In the Fast Lane

Move to the left Move to the right Where are you going? All these signs and directions Getting turned around Trying to figure out where im going Or where im bound If I didn't look up Would I miss my exit(exit) If I rerouted would my GPS catch it (catch it) Or would I end up lost And someone found me Get back to my destination finally On the way home Can't stay in this fast lane On my own Riding in the fast lane Cruising by Need to reduce the limit To survive All the curves and turns And the twist Will have you in the midst Slow down Take your time Rushing will leave you Blind and behind Blinded by the light that flashes And you yield Because you realize you want to live Take a shift Switch the gears And park it For a while Start it back Reverse it and then drive If you dont have it pull over to the side And get it together You have to be prepared to drive In any kind of weather Its sort of the story of your life If you driving At least drive right Pay attention, its serious did I mention You can put your feet on the gas and then brakes You can control the car and your life Regardless of your mistakes You've made it this far In the car and on earth Even if you had to reverse Or come to a stop You have to try and undo this block Riding in the fast lane Cruising by Need to reduce the limit To survive All the curves and turns And the twist Will have you in the midst Slow down Take your time Rushing will leave you Blind and behind Blinded by the light that flashes And you yield Because you realize you want to live Look everyone listen ?? Focus , pay attention ? Don't lose sight On what you doing Even when life seem confusing Trying to get in and out of lanes Wait your turn Just dont complain Things could be worse But its not Be thankful for what you got Reduce the amount of time you spend Driving full force Gone in the wind Or take it You can park In a space That you can face All day You feel secured Knowing you'll be ok Riding in the fast lane Cruising by Need to reduce the limit To survive All the curves and turns And the twist Will have you in the midst Slow down Take your time Rushing will leave you Blind and behind Blinded by the light that flashes And you yield Because you realize you want to live Written by:Concetta Hardnett 1/4/2016
