Someone’s in the driver’s seat.

“I am the master of my fate,

      I am the captain of my soul.”


Invictus by William Ernest Henley

 

 

Despite being twenty plus one

I do not have a driver’s license

And, strangely enough,

I never whined about that

Nor had that as a great dream

I don’t usually dream

I have insomnia 

And just fall asleep when I fall asleep

Yet, I’m aware 

That driving is for my peers

A dream to be achieved

 

I do not care

I usually seat behind the driver’s seat

Be in the car, 

Or in life,

I am but a mere passenger 

Who never took the wheel

And for a long time,

Never cared to take it
