When Silence Wept

"Speed"

You race through life with reckless grace,
Fingers clenched on the throttle, no time to face
The shadows you cast with each careless turn,
While others choke on the flames that burn.

You push the limits-fast cars, loud nights,
Daredevil games with your fading lights.
But for every leap that you survive,
Someone else falls from the heights you drive.

The bottle tips-just a harmless sip,
Yet those around you begin to slip.
You stand tall, unfazed by the taste,
But their lives unravel in poisoned haste.

A puff of smoke, a needle's bite,
You shrug it off, dancing through the night.
Your body stays strong, mind sharp as steel,
While others crumble under the weight you wield.

The bike's wheels spin, reckless and free,
But someone's crashed, a casualty.
Your thrill, your rush, is their unseen blow-
Their pain runs deep, while you never know.

The pills you pop, the risks you take,
Leave ripples behind, lives to break.
You stay afloat, unsinkable, high,
While others drown beneath the sky.

It's not your body that bruises or falls,
But their lives are caged by your reckless calls.
You wear the mask of invincible pride,
While the damage you leave is far and wide.

Each fast move, each drink, each careless hit,
Doesn't just pass-it leaves a split.
And though you walk unscathed, unfazed,
The wreckage behind is a fire that blazed.
