Care or Not

I throw my hands in the air,
                    As I try not to care.
I close my mouth,
                    As I try not to care.
I push my way through,
                    As I try not to care.
I go through this life,
                     As I try not to care.

But you see it's not easy,
                      To not have a care in the world.

I place my foot forward,
                       With every care in mind.
I speak with my mouth,
                        With every care in mind.
I write this piece,
                       With every care in mind.
I graduate this year,
                         With every care in mind.

Accidental life

Gone with the breeze
Out with the wind

Down the road
In the car

All I see
All I know

Flash before my eyes
Gone before my day

Crash of metal
Bend of fiberglass

Into town
Over by the high school

Lies me in the hospital

Tubes down my chest
IVs in my arms

My mind wonders
As I go through Hell

Seen by the strange
Meet by the intellect

Held by the sullen
Pieced together by faith

Hopeless as I laid
I fought for right

To live
