Description Solitary
There’s rain on my windshield
There’s a glare in my eyes
The Radio’s tired from being played too many times
Let’s keep it upbeat
Let’s keep it refined
I need to stay like this
In My denial
The Headlights fly like moths to flame
Their glow is refracted
Keep me occupied
Keep me distracted
Don’t look in the rearview
Don’t look down
There are crashes all around you
You won’t hear a sound
You thought that I’d be broken by now
You know we think the same
We try to be rational
In an effort to stay sane
This is temporary at best
I’ll get out of here someday
These doors are my last stand as the frost breaks through
It’s so cold, but I still have a lighter and pictures of you
I’ll keep myself from shaking
Hold on for one more night
I need to see this through
Someone will win this fight
The leaves have piled on my windshield
I can barely see
I don’t know where I’m going
Yet I know where I want to be.
I swear I’ll get out of here someday.
I know I will.

I enjoyed reading this. As a matter of fact, I read it, went out for dinner, thought about it while eating dinner, came back and read it again. You are a brilliant artist with a unique and extraordinary way of drawing even the most ordinary objects, (such as triple chins, for example) but you are showing that you are an equally talented writer. I like the way you so eloquently illustrated this profound feeling of detachment and isolation. I also like that although seemingly disconsolate, you end the song in a positive light leaving the reader with a presumably hopeful outcome.

Thanks so much! It's nice to know that my work affects people and impacts their dinner-eating regimen, which i never in a million years thought it would. It really means alot coming from an eloquent and expressive writer like yourself, and I hope that one day my writing ability will surpass my triple-chin drawing method.

But what if you get there and it's closed? (And I'm not talking about the Toast.)

You press on, of course. There's bound to be something else that's open all night.
