Coming out from underneath the ashes isnt easy to do.You finally got over them and got your life back.Now its time to start your car and see how far you can go.

My tattered soul is running on empty

my gas gauge is as empty as it can be.

My four tires need replaced immediately,

the windshield needs replaced as well.

****

Please don’t look at the rust and dents,

they show the mileage on my heart.

The last mechanic did not do so well,

he didn’t put back what he took apart.

****

My motor probably needs cleaned up,

nice piece of poem though the format seemed to distract me, the first and some other stanzas.

To me,a stanza was out of place but as a whole it was a very good poem about moving on and living s one should.

I enjoyed, I liked how you described a personal relationship through the word of a vehicle. Thank you!
