Road of Life

The road of life is long and hard.
It’s those curves that get us.
Road stretched out so long and far, can’t help but step on the gas.
Anxiously speeding ahead, yet then, we slow down, we begin to see things in a different perspective.
Then, a red light out of nowhere.
It takes pain, heart ache, that one accident for us to stop, to look at our surroundings.
To realize how far we’ve gone.
How much we strayed from the map.
I look around and realize, I’m lost.
