Go
I want to go
Nowhere,
But everywhere too.

In my dark hours
I jumped in the car and drove.
No idea where
Or what direction
But I just went,
Through neighborhoods,
Wandering around...

Got a text:
Where are you?
But I was lost and wanted to stay that way,
So off went the phone.

Music up
Louder than it should have been
Everything from U2 to Awolnation
To Pink Floyd and more -
Just driving,
Wandering,
Trying to figure out what to do.

Depression is stupid.
Taking what we knew to he ourselves
And cracking it up like a car accident,
Spitting it out to roll down te highway
And get smahed into pieces.
But it's the story of my life.

What would the genre be?
Tragedy? Comedy?
Such a strange thought that
I could have some control over it...
To make it a comedy
And drive off the bridge before me.
But I was too afraid I would live.

After hours of tears
And years of hurt unraveling,
I pulled into a place far, far away from home
And pretended I didn't exist.

I went where I wanted to go.
