Late Night Cab Rides (A Poem)

I’m stuck on a track that feels bound to crash It’s loud and noisy and I feel I’ve lost myself Drowned out in all the responsibilities And people and things relying on me To play my part successfully Why is there no reset button I’d go back so far if I could bring what I […]
