Street lights shone down on the curvy silhouette of a black corvette. The reflection of the road side glistens off of the flawless Chrome coat of the vehicle. The engine roars at the slightest touch of the gas petal as my father turns to me from across the table.
"It sounds amazing doesn't it."
I nod my head in agreement as another beauty of a vehicle passes by us. A porche convertable glides smoothly across the pavement with a purr slightly different than the corvette that had passed before hand.
"I like that one better though, don't you?"
I shrug my shoulders. The cars were undoubtably impressive and incredibly expensive. They were beautifully tailored without flaw, but for some reason I felt nothing toward them.
A strange smile spread across my face and my father looked at me confused.
"Why are you smiling?"
I looked down at my hands and thought for a moment to myself, not allowing much to slip out as I thought of one specific car that I really loved.
"I don't know...I like the sound of trucks better"  
I say looking down at my hands, remembering.
True story that happened tonight. I found it quite funny how symbolism can apply to every day things.

there is something special
about the curvature of your lips
when you genuinely smile.
You may seem gruff on the outside
maybe even intimidating at first
but when you flash that smile,
my heart melts in the best way.

I'm going to miss the times
When you lift me up closer
To the moon and stars
Just by the tight embrace of your arms
Perks of tall men

A few things I like
About that old green truck

A new chrome coat with a few rusty parts
That makes the truck look tough, when in reality, it requires a gentle, caring touch.

the way it struggles to start, but eventually prevails with a successful roar, even with a few mishaps to begin with.

the unique growl it makes, when the car shifts, and moves forward.
A noise which is so recognizable, it causes a grin whenever It is heard.

The mighty roar it gives which is thundering and distinct, but brings genuine joy to the soul.

The way it makes you feel like you're home, even when you're not.

The way it can't take you everywhere, but can make you happy anywhere.

a few things I like
about that old green truck.

In another dimension
There is a drug that pulls you down
It stops you from seeing the trees breathe
It hinders your ability to watch the life-force flow through the veins of nature
It lets things stop
And allows for quiet stillness

delve deep into your being
succumb to yourself
there is where you will find
the true strength that lies within you.
No matter how you feel
What you think
The deepest parts of you
will forever remain.
Accept them.
Only then will you truly be free.

I pretend not to notice.
as your eyes pierce holes through my soul.
I pretend you aren't there.
but your voice reverberates through the room.
Somebody approaches me.
They mention your name.
I shake it off as if you were nothing.
But then-
They mention what you say.
About me.
I freeze.
A lie.
A terrible, terrible lie.
the tears well up.
I try to not let them know what I feel
My heart begins to pound.
I search for an escape
Someone sees me.
Can they tell?
Do they know?
My hands shake violently
I try to hide.
Is this instinct?
Is this what I have been trained to do?
have you won?
I am terrified.
