Drive

Life is like a long trip on a short road
There are so many thing to behold
Many drive straight
Many drive reckless
Many drive drunk
Each of us is unique
Each drives a different car
Each looks at life differently
Some look too long at the road in front of them
And forget to look up ahead at the obstacles in their way
So live as you should drive
Look out from yourself and don't live too close to yourself
Try not to examine the mistakes
Don't dwell on the past
Be a nonconformist
If your true self does not accept the values of the majority
Better to live your life the way you would like it
Than live your life to please the values of others

About this poem:
Found this in an old notebook from 1990. I was in college back then and working at Hardee's. Plenty of time for self reflection in between those two pursuits.

It's interesting to look back and see things we've written in the past.

I love how you say "If your true self does not accept the values of the majority.. " as opposed to simply 'you.'

Nice mcradloff
