I don't drive.
I don't know how.
Sure, I know the basics...
but that doesn't stop the crippling responsibility that comes when I'm in the driver's seat.
No, I didn't ask for your opinion.
Nor did I ask for a solution.
When you voice your fears,
do I provide unwarranted advice for how to get over it?
"You don't drive?"
Head cocked and eyebrow raised.
The judgemental stare
letting me know, without saying more, that you disapprove.
No, I didn't ask for your sanction.
Nor did I ask for your sympathy.
All I ask is that you don't look at me like an outcast,
just because
I don't drive.
