Stuck In Traffic Poem by Estefano Molina

I'm not that old
But I've experienced quiet a bit
In my short years here
I've learned from mistakes
I've grown from them
And made some more mistakes
Traveled to and from
Here to there
And back again
Met people
and forgot some
Broke some hearts
and found out I had one too
and in return
it broke as well
I've felt invincible
When I was at my happiest
and fragile
when I was helpless
I've lived
and I've died many times
The world changes
year after year
It's getting harder to keep up
I'm growing old

The world will keep spinning
The cars will never leave traffic
Something new to keep your eyes on your phone
Bills and cars not starting
Flat tires and excuses
Christmas parties
Thanksgiving and Birthdays
It'll never stop
year after year
waiting for the income tax
There has to be more to this
There has to be
but then again
maybe there just isn't

As this traffic moves at 20ft. per hour
I'm not in a hurry any longer
I have no one to meet
and no one to answer to
I'll be home soon enough
