A Ghost at the Wheel

Don’t tell me what to do

It’s my life

My choice

Keep your opinions to yourself

You disagree?

Don’t tell me

I’m going my way

So get out of my way

Stop trying to influence me

Just let me live

Everyone’s got something to say

Everyone thinks they know best

Everyone, leave me alone!

Stop badgering me

Stop pushing me

Stop judging me

Stop talking at me

Stop controlling me

Action Reaction

Push Pull

Me Myself & I

Away from you

And you and you

Blessed silence

Inward counsel

Trust no one

…..

Disaster strikes

Why didn’t anyone tell me

Warn me

Love me

Care enough to speak?

Is there anyone left

Who will talk to me?

…..

“To some you’re a memory

Others choose to say I do not remember at all

Some wait and pray and scan the horizon

Hoping that one day they’ll see you come home”

Inspired by the song A Ghost at the Wheel by Tourniquet

(The last stanza is a direct quote)
