Crossroads

They say life is a highway

And today i will find out

I Stepped in my brand new wheels

And was ready for the fast lane no doubt

I fastened my seat belt

And It was time to take control

To shift gears and face my fears

To dodge the crooked cops that patrol

I started the engine, and my ride started to breathe

I glanced at my mirrors, turned on my signal

And took off with ease

I’m on the road now

What a great  killer he is

I stayed cool and focused

The wind whispered drive slow please

So I obeyed and enjoyed the breeze

I’m broad minded but the path ahead was narrow

The mountains gazed at my nervousness

And the waves in the ocean saluted me

I’m such a brave fellow

The road still hated me though

And gave me a truck at a sharp corner

Death was ready to tuck me in

But not today, I missed the truck by an inch.

At the crossroads of life and death

My cross hanging from my rear view mirror

Made sure that wasn’t my last breath
