One Way Street

Post by Travis » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:28 am

A one way street

You're way

One direction

Solid yellow lines

No passing zone

One poisonous arrow

Full control

Sharp turns

Steep hills

The ups and downs

A rickety roller-coaster races

This merry-go-round

Spinning and turning

Needing to stop

Let me off

Dizzy

Delirious

Distraught

A fool along for the joyride

But there is no joy

Time to make a U-turn

Go the other way

My way

Wheels turn and peal out

Cry and squeal out

Screeching

Spinning

A cloud of dust swirling

The painful past behind me

Moving on

Rear view mirror broken

I won't look back…

A clean brake(break) with that which cannot be resolved in life is not easy nor painless, but well stated in your poem, if I have the meaning right?!
