so i drive
away from the
flashing lights and
my parents' advice
towards lonely nights.
so i speed up
when nostalgia sinks in.
red, yellow, green
i'm the new street queen.
so i don't stop
when the sirens
blare and my vision
begins to blur
it's a split decision.
underage drinking
and driving at 17
a broken tail light blinking
a death no one had foreseen.
so i drive
to be free from
the lies and hate.
so i drive
to be free from
my insecurities and regret.
so i drive
to be free from
it all.
