Just cruising along until out of nowhere the car starts sliding but your able to get it to come to a stop; been paranoid or worried for a while now about driving since everytime you turn it would make a loud pop
Well that time has came as you guide the vehicle as close as you can get to the curb; after getting out of the car and seeing the front tires are facing different directions leaving you a little perturbed
Unable to process the car's situation,it turns into anxiety as you begin to panic; in a city you don't live in plus knowing you are far from being a mechanic
Not even sure who you can call for help while being in this unknown town; trying not to be that person who ends up getting locked from car breaking down
The last thing you want to see would be the flash of those blue and red lights; from 12 pulling up being nosey acting like they going to help you out with they spot shining so bright
That is the added fear you get to deal with taking up space in your thoughts and brain; when really you need to be focused on the car with that as only problem left to remain
With that said let's get back to the issue at hand that needs to be dealt; eyeballs and fingers crossed in hopes that the damage won't be too harsh to be felt
Even more concerning was when you realize the extent of despair that is now your new reality; since being homeless plus already living out of your car, truly it is hard to not be responding negatively
So you try to remain calm as possible while waiting to find out what you can; full of the hope that what is broke is something you will be able to be explained for you to understand
Let alone be in the range of affordability just to begin to get fixed; Knowing there is little to no chance of it being simple and taking care of with single click
Since that is not a remote possibility just makes it easier to face new problems with a stranger kind of flair; drilled into your head since childhood is the fact of life being rarely if ever fair
Keeping that in front of your mind is the reason that on you things have their own effect; usually unlike other responses as well sometimes making others close to you an emotional wreck
Now to others it may seem as if to you things just flat out don't matter; mostly you remain calm while everyone else is going crazier than the mad hatter
Always prepared to do what I must plus do what needs to be done; just to laid back no matter what you facing or what does or may come
I don't know any other way of life, not coming from my family; raised to never back down from anyone or situation and damn sure not retreating hastily
You can know absolutely nothing bout the topic at hand like now with the broke down car; yet none the less you dive head first trying to access the extent and how far
Will have to go to make this break down a positive force in the end; car completely out of commission so fully wishing this is not start of a new trend
Need to find a mechanic willing to come to us to fix the front end of the whip; with goal of not only new ideas for the state commission to learn bout and right the hip
That is when the mistakes start compounding from every direction I've went lately on this planet; I tell anyone who will listen if you don't get it then please don't try to understand it
Being out and about wasting time hoping to hear the voice and words been waiting all day for; help from the all mighty up above can be answer for all and create your own folk lore
