Life Changes Happen Fast Be Ready

Future race car driver, does not even need a track Chip on my shoulder, sign on my back Kick me, beat me, smack me, and delete me. No matter to me. Lifeless? Life full? We will see… Expected the worst. Ready to fight, flee, or burst. No idea why. Ready to scream, too proud to cry. Enraged all of the time. Do not know why. Angry at the world, Enraged at nine. Carrying angry all of the time. Eighteen now. Life is a kick. I am finding out rapidly I am a hick. blew up two cars, a furious rebel. resigned to my fate, a distorted bevel. covering up all kinds of weird sad. Perpetually down, yesterday’s clown. Life train resets herself with true love at twenty. Set gauge to great, and I mean plenty. At twenty one, a parent now, I plan to do my best, to fill my vow. To love my child unconditionally, To keep her safe, let her know she is loved. Determined that she will learn of the spirits above.

Thank you M.L. I was writing it for a poetry contest, but the contest was filled and I did not care as the whole point was, it made me think up this poem which I would have never done otherwise.
