Braces
A brand new car,
 Something not 
 Free,
 Something not 
 Cheap. 
 Something that would 
 empty your bank account, 
 And surely make you
 Weep. 
 
 First month or two, it’s all about-
 Washing and cleaning all around-
 Top, bottom, behind and front.
 Making sure everything is sparkly clean,
 when all you can see are the
 reflections of all the things in your way.
 
 Gassing up every day, not once or twice 
 But maybe thrice.
 Spray with a splash of
 Minty Peppermint or fruity apple,
 (ADD MORE)
 
 Going to the mechanics once a month
 Making sure all the wires are
 Fix and tight.
 Or getting a paint job from colors of:
 Silver, blue, green or even gold. 
 
 And sometimes if you’re unlucky,
 An accident may occur. 
 A flat or loose tire or
 A rock or tree may fall down on your way.
 You scream and freak out, slamming down on your brakes. 
 
 
 
 But as time goes on, the third, fourth month and so on. 
 You start to care less
 Not caring if there is a scratch or two
 A few dents here and there
 Because you know that as long as you clean daily, not will go wrong.
