My Loose Wheel’s on a Roll

Some days, I feel like I’m a
loose-wheel-on-a roll,
careening off
the stable moving vehicle
of my life.
I try to make it
all come back together
like I’m on a planned journey
following a neat road map.
Some days, I am
successful,
but others,
not so much!
Today, my loose wheel
feels like
a training wheel gone askew.
Wobbling all over the place.
Taking me off
in uncharted directions
without my permission.
Gotta tighten that loose wheel
before I stray too far off
my chosen path
and wind up
somewhere
else.
