To The Ends Of The Earth

by Jenna   Aug 10, 2010


I grabbed my keys, filled up my tank
And drove to the ends of the Earth today.

Windows down, Aviators on,
And a slight tossle of the wind in my hair,

Blasting music the whole way,
The kind you can think to,
Contemplate your life with.

You can't do that in silence, it's deafening.
I could spend a whole lifetime contemplating silence
And never fully grasp its meaning.

As I drove, I thought about today;

My breakdown in the parking lot,

My best friend blowing me off for her boyfriend,

My other friend ditching me to go and shoot up.

And somehow I ended up hanging out with my ex-boyfriend
And his girlfriend.

I was surprised at my indifference to it all.

Then I left and came back home,
And spent several hours staring blankly at a computer screen.

Out of pure boredom I drove to McDonald's and got a free smoothie.
About half way through it, I felt disgusted with myself
And through it out my window.

I looked in my review mirror, and all I saw was ugly.

Today I drove to the ends of the Earth.
And by the ends of the Earth I mean to the ends of the city limits.

And that's when it hit me,

I'm merely a shell of the person I used to be.
