I Fell Asleep

Contributed by drogedarain on Friday, 26th August 2005 @ 11:20:45 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



I fell asleep at the wheel and woke up a wreck.

Wondering how I got here and how I could get back,
to things I had been steering towards.

The places, people and things that I once knew would add
zing to my life.

Was it the right or the left that took me down that wrong path.

The path of self destruction that caused the exhaustion, inducing
lethargy and making me so weak.

I grasped the wheel trying hard not to sleep but the exhaustion had
taken such hold of me, making my eyes, arms and mind so weak,
I could not hold on I fell asleep at the wheel and woke up a wreck.

How, if ever will I get back!

This is a poem that I think many of us can relate to from one time of our lives or another. Great analogy and very good write. Keep it up!

You can keep steering towards the correct path.! But it has to BE YOUR choice. I wrote a tiny write about something similiar.yet, it was for my brother and his messed up life.! Just go the correct way.....follow the gut, heart, and mind.! Very good write.! Very inspiring.

I can relate to this flow
and getting back is so hard at times.
