Car Crash!

"Eleven!", he calls,
I rip up the grass,
The traction from the asphalt,
I speed off at a sprint.

"Turn!", the voice booms again,
I curve the corner,
My muscles screeching like an engine,
I take off down the straight.

I gaze ahead,
A shape zooming straight at me,
My goal in its possession,
You're mine.

"Go!", the voice orders,
I fire off the mark,
A bolt of lightning,
My target mirroring my every move

I lower my shoulder,
And wait for the imminent impact,
"Smash!", the shock spreads through my body
The debri lays upon the ground

The result of a car crash.

Spoiler
If you hadn't guessed, this isn't a car crash. It's a Rugby exercise, starring me and Harry Kennedy :smt003
Laments of passion
Obstructed by fear.
Under guises of jovial chatter;
Incredulous hopes
Steadily feasting away-
Eating away at my heart.

Before I read the spoiler, I could have sworn you were writing in the mind of a schizophrenic. Like, a voice is telling them to go hit a car or something. xD

Anyway, this is really good. I really liked this! I had no idea it was a rugby exercise until you told me. Now it all makes sense. :33

Keep it up!

Very very good poem, it had a mystery behind it making the readers think. I love the line "My muscles screeching like an engine!" This has to be one of the best poems I have seen all day, usually I would give some judgement on a poem how to make it better but I don't think I have any on this poem. I hope to read much more of your poems because even I could learn from them.
Keep up the writing, your doing great!

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
