First Time I Drove Alone

The First Time I Drove Alone
Sixteen years old, license in hand,
Heart full of freedom, I felt grand.
Keys in ignition, anticipation,
A new chapter, liberation.
First time driving on my own,
The world felt vast, unknown.
No parents nagging, no rules to bind,
Just the open road and a peace of mind.
Hit the gas, felt the engine roar,
Adrenaline pumping, I craved more.
Weaving through traffic, feeling alive,
No longer confined by a five-mile drive.
First time driving on my own,
The world felt vast, unknown.
No parents nagging, no rules to bind,
Just the open road and a peace of mind.
But the freedom was short-lived, a fleeting dream,
A misplaced turn, a panicked scream.
Brakes too late, a metal crash,
My first taste of reality, a painful lash.
First time driving on my own,
The world felt vast, unknown.
No parents nagging, no rules to bind,
Just the open road and a peace of mind.
Scratched bumper, a lesson learned,
The world’s a playground, but risks are returned.
First drive, a memory etched in time,
A bittersweet reminder of freedom, mine.
