Deer in the Headlights (Mack Truck)

Mack Truck,

if you never read this I was the one, the one deer in the headlights

I sat in the back of the classroom, seeing you laugh and joke with others

I felt caged enraged

because,

my apraxia and dyslexia lay and wasted all this precious time with you,

I would never see you again

because, that class ended and you would never know

this poet wrote a song for you

so, if you never read this I just wanna let the mack truck

Rolling down the road know...

I go through every rhyme, everyday, every crap I say is to

meet you again in an non awkward way,

a moment I can say...

​

your super eyes cant pretend how a superman wants to save you,

amend his ways to be the man,

you always prayed for

every day-every breath you take

I was afraid,

you would find a different superman that would take my place

and beat the final boss and come sweep

you off your feet

and I would be given a wedding speech

(not at your wedding)

because,

I don't know you

​

I'm talking about a pity speech or

an motivational reach in my soul and

Punch it around, throw it up and down kickin' and stomping it in the ground and Repeating until

I'm Blue and Red in the face now

I'm a broken record, a nightmare maker, a dream breaker,

a ghostly figure whining in a song what is wrong,

what has god done that should be me not a

​

Deer in the Headlights

you made me be, I wish she can see me Jeez like you see me what I go through

every rhyme-everyday all the crap I say

is to meet you again in an non awkward way

​

every page I rip, every word I delete

every talent I show God on repeat is for...,before another, Mack Truck drives away,

aye I'm not done yet, God I wish to you

for somebody anybody

to listen to me and comfort me that's not in my family.

to read my writings like a movie scene

starting off with a broken Poet

that wouldn't open his shy heart until the perfect moment came

tearing his shy goodbye and hello to confident, this life

he couldn't seem to grasp

now its trying to get a grasp on him because,

of she made he relearn all the techniques to fly-try

another time stop and say hi once again but, for now I'm gonna say goodbye and finish with this

mack truck, if you read this

I was the one, the one

Deer in the Headlights.
