She’s always been there to slow me down
My speed bump
When I was on a path that would destroy me
She showed up
I slowed down to get to know her
Until an unforeseen crossroad
Caused us to part
Open road lay before me again
And I mashed that gas pedal
All the way to the floor
I could barely make shapes
As objects zoomed by my windows
Gone was I again
But again she came to my aid
My speed bump
Always there in the nick of time
To save me from myself
When things start to go crazy
When things are moving to fast
My thoughts
My memories
I call her
And
Everything. Slows. Down.
Then it hits me
My moment of clarity
Saved again
By my spe3d bump
