This One Place

I don't want to be here
Yet I continue
A tears fall
I push down hard on the gas pedal
trying to keep up
This drive is long
and I know not where I'm going
Yet I do know my final destination
That one place
The place I never wanted to see
Not is this way
My mind goes numb
and for a moment my heart stops
as the tears dry to my cheeks
I focus on the bumper ahead of me
We slow
We enter
We stop
We have arrived
Arrived at this one place
