I was driving through the maddening traffic,

tensed and anxious,

racing with the car next to me.

I had to get to my destination fast!

Suddenly, I heard a crash,

my heart skipped a beat!

I braked aggressively, phew!! Just in time!

My muscles were tense, my breathing was heavy,

I cussed and continued on the road.

Oh! What a darned drive!!

I was living through the maddening life,

tensed and anxious,

racing with the person next to me.

I had to get to my destination fast!

Suddenly, life threw a curveball,

my heart skipped a beat!

I halted aggressively, phew!! Just in time!

My muscles were tense, my breathing was heavy,

I cussed and continued on the path.

Oh! What a darned life!!

I was driving through the maddening traffic,

calm and quiet,

moving at my own pace.

I had my destination in mind!

Suddenly, I heard a crash,

my mind stayed composed,

I slowed down consciously, thank God!! Well in time!

My muscles were relaxed, my breathing was light,

I smiled and continued on the path.

Oh! What an amazing drive !!
