She started driving at 16

And at 7 am

She drives with flowers bursting out her hair and spring blooming on her smile

At 3pm

She drives with childhood memories and laughter and sometimes cries

At 10pm

She drives with bitter memories and regrets of the of the roads she did not took and decisions she did not make

And at 2 am when her body is tired and her mind is filled

She goes on her motorcycle and drives

With empty roads and a buzzing mind

She drives.

Faster

And faster

And faster

Until adrenaline fills her mind and everything just seems alright.

She screamed her lungs out, the felt liberty and stripped from everything

Like she was given another blank sheet of paper to rewrite her story

And like she stood a chance again in this world

But at 7 am again, the girl with spring that once bloomed on her smile

Has now wilted as she was winter cold

And tonight the girl with flowers once bursting out on her hair

Is buried with roses, away from her query

She was back to where the flowers had bloomed.

And it was quiet and peaceful

Like how she was before.
