Thrown by the Waste Side
With age my engine leaks
 My leather seats begin to crack
 My voice loses its sound
 And my paint chips and peels
 I was once adored and taken care of so well
 Now I’m on my way to the junkyard
 The beauty I once relied on has sabotaged me
 I never had any other purpose
 I didn’t venture into racing 
 Or get in a movie
 And now instead of some eternal remembrance…
 I am lost
 I am trapped
 My beauty has faded and all that is left is ‘garbage’
 I will sit in a junkyard and my old owner will stare
 Nostalgic of my better days 
 But once I get sent to my demise 
 Nothing
 I become but another strap of metal thrown by the waste side
