Stuck in Traffic

So this was the path I chose to take.
Traffic jam too heavy - everyone trying to get ahead. Cars chasing, trying to beat the red lights.
I should have known how to get through this mess. I should have followed the friendly signs. I should have taken the detour.
And yet I'm here, stuck in traffic, where everyone is.
Suffocated by the indecisions, wallowing in wrong turns. i thought I could just get through with this. Wishful thinking much, my ticket to success is in everybody's hands. I have nothing just for me. Everyone has a license, everyone can drive his/her way out.
And yet I'm here, stuck in traffic, still falling behind.
I could attempt to leave the driver's seat. Walk or run my way out. Find another reason, inspiration and mode to go to where I've always wanted to be. The freedom to do what I want. The road to find out what I'm actually good at. The path where my heart belongs, where I don't have to complain anymore, I don't have the sweat my way off, where I could just have peace in me. Or I could stay in this boxed car, try to remodel what I have. Attached extra parts, repaint if I must or fuel my drive even harder. And by the end of this long and heavy traffic, I hope nothing falls to the dead end.
This could still have a paradise-worthy journey. The destination would still depend on me and what the world wants me to be.
Stuck in traffic. I'm glad I have my most loved people with me. Listening as the music plays along - they've been with me throughout this Sunday morning driving, be with me til the end of the road. ;-)
