What about me?

You pass me like you roll a stop sign:
You know it's wrong,
But you do it anyway.
Well now we're on the freeway;
There's no slowin' down.
Can't you wrap your head around
That?
It's nothing profound.

Full speed ahead.
Spill it all out.
You screamed; you whined; you said.
You said everything,
And yet it's as if it was nothing.

But no, you're in a Lamborghini –
Special obligations to the whiney!
VIP access;
You confess:
“I'm the King –
Now stand up and sing.”
You're no big thing.

Sorry but it's not about how much
you got.
Your sports car is hardly a dot.
You're behind the wheel,
And that's what hinders her to seal the deal.

Buddy, sir, Mr. Lamborghini, I found some spare keys;
I will seize control –
'Cause what you got is nothing compared to what I do with it.

This poem is very...joyful, i feel like a child looking at the other's vanity, but couldn't understand it. Aptly summing up your topics too. The flow of the poem itself spells carefree, utter truth and simplicity...this style, is also a pleasant contrast to my works. But unlike a reflective one, yours is an analogy, yours unplanned and perceptive. Good work- i do hope those things said are heard, that is all :)

WOW! I love this poem! It's really very very good. I think the title is just so perfect. It sets the mood for the whole poem. The flow of the poem was perfect! My favorite line is definitely the first one. It is so unique! The entire poem is so.. COOL. That is just how it reads! :) Congrats on Editor's Choice! It was certainly well deserved! Could you check out some of my works published on the site and critique them? Also, I've got a poem called "The Balcony" in the forums I would like you to read. You're a great writer and I would love for you to read my stuff! Again, Nice job!
