The Traveler

I sit here a captive       to the blurring white lines Mesmerized, hostage      I fail to see signs My life just a whirlwind      briskly passing me by Stress pressing firmly      my relief, a short sigh. But what of the consequences      the things I should have done? My ambitions, my duties      are they strangely now one? The "nod," oh so deadly,      for it comes once again It calms me then JOLTS me      was I sleeping just then? I am but a traveler      on this road known as life And although I am steering      I can not avoid strife.

Additional Notes:
I have resubmitted this based on a good suggestion that one line was a bit out of meter. :)
