Independence
The key is in the ignition
My hands on the wheel
I check to make sure everything is in place:
Water, wallet, and my purse full of things
My nerves are on high alert; my mind scrambling with anticipation
I start the car and drive onto the street
Just my iPod and me, sailing down the highways, freeways, and inner states
My mind is boggled that I’m even here driving to see him
However I get nervous and begin to slightly tremble
How could my parents let me do this?
I’m only 17! I shouldn’t be out driving in this dangerous world!
A semi goes by and I agree with myself even more than before
My speedometer reads 75, the highest it’s every gone
This is too much; I don’t think I can do this. This is crazy!
But then I relax and breathe…I’m 17. Plenty old to go driving into the beautiful country
The sun is high and the sky is a perfect shade of blue
Barely any cars pass by and I enjoy the moments alone
I could do this again; hundreds maybe thousands of times!
Just driving to places I want to go and to see people I want to see
I’m ready for moments like this that will be coming up fast
Moments of independence
I like this. It must be about maybe getting your license, driving alone, or going on a first roadtrip are my guesses. I never used to love driving alone but now I love it so moments of independence changed my life too. =)
