Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is dangerous
It is like giving God another one-up on you
Letting the car take your life into it’s own hands
Don’t be dumb or a stupid bum
Process, Inhale, and Comprehend what you are about to do
Your hands slip into the cup holder and grip the phone of death
You only look away for a few seconds to see if you got any new Facebook notifications
First comes the saltiness of your own blood in your mouth
Next an ear piercing explosion from an unknown source
Then in front of you sparks that range from amber orange to sun-bright yellow
Burning oil infiltrates first the left nostril then the right
The airbag blasts your face in one swift motion
Your short life flashes before you
Benny the cat who was there for you no matter what
Your bubble-gum pink hat that you wore during your to cool for school phase
Life was like a best friend you would sometimes take for granted
Your life is a dinosaur, extinct
Your heartbeat has stop and your pulse drops
You’re now considering what you had done
You’re now wondering if it’s your fault
You’re now not here to see what your future had held for you
Exhale
This could have happened, who knows
Every choice you make has its repercussions
