P

One Life

Having gotten drunk from a night party
Feeling a state of life apathy
Walking drowsy
Like a loser
turning the car ignition on
With no gene of sanity
Riding with great speed
Couldn't see the upcoming truck
Truck headlights flashes like a warning of death
Makes a diversion into the forest at the point of merging
Car moving through the dark forest
And he could see his life flash before him
The car came to a halt on a muddy plain
Adrenaline still rushing over him
He pleaded for mercy from the heavens
And it dawn on him
That he had one life and
there is no point wasting it.
