Wish It Was Me

Waves him over
Climbs into the back seat
Where control is not your choice
You leave it in the hands of trusted ones
In a hurry to make it there on time
The journey begins
It takes off
Leaving the world behind
In its exhaust
Cruising through life
Slowing, stopping at the sign with those four letters
P A I N
But only to go on to
Pass by the most significant moments
Ever experienced in life.
Without stopping
Or even slowing.
You realize what youâ??ll miss
When you leave the world behind you
Who you will hurt
Who you will lose
And in that moment,
It comes to a sudden stop
Shatters of glass erupts
As does your heart
The front end has collided
Your mind has finally one
The driver wasnâ??t watching
They never truly cared
Ending the life.
And all that can be thought is
â??I wish that was meâ??
