Driven Poems - Poems about Driven

Your mind can take you places let your eyes be the judge of what you see. Is a bin not a bin? Is a rose not a rose? I could call on deception, flattery, duplicity, misdirection. I have tamed my rage, but you’re quick to see my movements, quick...

Life at 21, do you remember it? Things rush at you, hit you, from all directions. Any small decision can turn into a major plot beat. What are our lives anyway but the sum of our decisions?

Was the worst behind or before them? They could imagine, but they never knew. I never thought much of it back then, back there. I was just a boy enjoying the weekly television show. It was a show about a wagon train of Americans heading West. They knew their past misfortunes, but were driven by their dreams. At the beginning of...
