joyride

My top is down,

no crowds,

only this playground;

my sounds

to drown my anxiety.

In the stars I confide,

darkness is where I thrive,

the depths of night is when I become alive;

my consciousness nosedives.

I wish I didn't have to return,

only taking languid turns,

this is what I've learned:

freedom is what I yearn,

my eyes feel heavy and begin to burn.

I don't want this serotonin to end

but it's already 3 AM,

my headlights grow dim,

I spin the key;

the ignition descends,

"I can't wait to do this again."
