There Goes Your Life

There goes your life Ain't ya gonna get it? It's gonna pick up speed Ain't ya gonna stop it? I don't know where it's going But it doesn't look so great I think you better stop it Before it gets too late I think you ought to slow it down Before it gets in a crash Think of what may lie ahead And don't do anything else rash There goes your life I hope that it can swim I hope that nothing too bad comes Because of your sudden, stupid whim There goes your life You set it on it's way Now ain't ya gonna catch it? Or shall we close our eyes and pray? April 2010

I'm practically speechless... This poem is probably by far my favorite. The way you wrote it is fantastic! I loved the way you wrote this to describe a life altering decision, and not being able to take back what's been done. written with so much power, i love it!

Reading this makes me think of recent changes I made in my life's direction. I feel through this poem the frustration people feel towards someone they care about who is throwing their life away. Great write!
