Double Yellow Lines

This is what I learned
I can't escape my past
Haunted memories burn
And scars will always last
I navigated dangerous turns
While living life too fast

I tried speeding away
To escape the prison I live in
I sinned every single day
Begging God to be forgiven
His judgement I tried to sway
So my story could be rewritten

So many chances saddened
Whispers echoed in the wind
Mistakes continued to happen
Repeatedly again and again
My choices left me maddened
Failed opportunities I didn't begin

Battling temptations without a shield
Confessions never admitted
This is why I never healed
And the sands of time commited
Sadly today my fate was sealed
Paradigm of life never acquitted

Crossing over double yellow lines
Head on into a tractor trailer
Tragedy of life by design
And Irony of my lifes failure
Resigned to his intervention divine
I'm sorry, last words of my prayer

Cautioned, I ignored the warnings
I lived my life too reckless
Left my family in mourning
From my guilt so infectious
My Internal storm kept storming
Procrastination left me breathless
