Makenna Boutin<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting something you know won\u2019t end well\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is like driving in a blizzard\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t see the cars ahead of you or the accident waiting to happen<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it will happen<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s only a matter of how fatal a collision<\/span><\/p>\n

Each blinding snowflake its own mesmerizing beauty\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Distracting you from a sane decision
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Distracting you from the oncoming traffic <\/span><\/p>\n

waiting to wreck the warm environment<\/span><\/p>\n

you believed in seconds before\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And just like that you’re spinning out\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You try and stay calm to gain control again\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But there’s not enough time<\/span><\/p>\n

Blindsided\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The windows shatter, airbags blow\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your head bleeds and your heart slows\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before heading out you knew there was a low mortality rate\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why didn’t you stay home?<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s because you <\/span>trust your car not to let anything hurt you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But when stakes are high and visibility is low\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s best to go with your gut and stay inside\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
