My dad's an alcoholic,
so naturally,
I've always been afraid of him drinking and driving.
Sources say that ever 53 minutes,
someone die from a drunk driving accident.
My dad could easily have been one.
Buckle up we are going on a road trip,
Hold up let me text my mother real quick.
Okay let me pull out of the driveway,
I wonder what’s happening on Instagram today.
Both directions is the only safe way to look,
Stuck here,
In this chair.
Hey man at least its got wheels.
I never get to leave this thing.
It sucks,
Day after day I sit here,
To be honest;
Its not even that comfortable.
I, too, once looked like you.
Danced without fear
To entertain was my goal.
Distracted by a distant thought,
Describing my favorite movie to a friend,
Drove as if the road had no end.
Man I’ve been studying all week and haven’t had a break
I need some fun and a night out to keep me awake.
Instead of the club I go to the gym
Then I get a text from him.
He won’t be able to talk on the phone tonight
