Ride of a Life Time, Poem Six: Written by Me

A day of innocence
It was suppose to be
Flashbacks and memories
Is all I can now see

As we sat back in the car
Reving the engine to go
We gripped onto the seats
Not going very slow

We whined around corners
As I was thrown around
The driver asked what was wrong
But I just sat there and frowned

Passing the local shops
With great motions of fear
But still racing along
Not knowing what was near

The driver was daring
As he faked a right turn
We headed for the barrier
As I could feel the tyre rubber burn

Everything was in slow motion
As we head straight for the street light
My body went into shock
Because it was such a big fright

The next thing I can remember
Was my leg being in such pain
Who could be such a careless driver?
As I needed someone to blame

My body just froze
Like it was all a big dream
The pain that I was in
Made me just want to scream

The police were all around
As we all were freaking out
They were inspecting the area
And were wondering what was it about?

But the driver was in a state
And forced everyone to lie
My friends were feeling sick
While I had a big cry

The driver never told us though
That illegally he is not suppose to drive
It is just as well we’re still here
And that we are very much alive
