  1. It was a dark and stormy night while she sat in the back of her uncle’s car. He was driving in the rain, and the headlights shone harshly against the silver drops of water.

  2. driven off
    the road as she
    climbed higher and
    higher
    still going without
    following a certain path
    making her own way
    crawling
    before the drive
    in her heart
    just
    burnt
    out.

  3. He was not going to give up. He wouldn’t, he couldn’t. It may be true that every doctor and scientist who he’d ever called in to examine his wife insisted that she was indefinitely comatose, but that couldn’t be the end.

  4. He was driven to do this thing. He couldn’t allow anyone to change his mind — not even Sagramor. His lover was against him in this, and no amount of pleading or love could make him change sides. It was because Sagramor loved him so that he had to follow through. It was all or nothing. Arthur was his enemy, as was anyone who called him their ally.

  11. If anything could be said of the young agent, it was that she was driven. But by what, they all wondered? What dark secret was she keeping in her mind’s dusty closet, what kept her awake at night when she was working long hours at her desk, trying to solve the most recent case?

  12. In my lifetime, I’ve been driven to do many things. But nothing drives me more than to become someone who isn’t you.

  13. It wasn’t as though the village didn’t trust her; she was just a woman. Her uncle would have wanted the farm to stay in the family – it had been there for generations, and she wasn’t going to allow the rest of the town to stop her from keeping up that tradition. She looked out over the fields of her home and still wished her uncle hadn’t given her the opportunity to inherit them.

  14. I miss driving. I used to go everywhere when I could. It was my big escape. Especially in the summer. I would take a road I’ve never been down before and not care where it led me.

  23. arms raised, poised
    i greet the champagne dawn
    and say farewell
    to fading starlight
    cool winds
    whisper over skin
    stirring shivers
    and bringing with it
    the smells of the ocean
    sharp rocks
    bite at soft bare feet
    cold sea spray
    breaks my reverie
    i stand at the edge
    of this divide
    between earth and water
    driven here
    by restlessness and you

  24. With a pick in his hand he soldiered up the stoney path driven to dig a grave so deep, so wide that the fucker would never be found. The body was bound up in potato sacks and old hessian string that had been left lying in his grandpa’s shed for the last century.

    By a person, by an event.
    Even when you don’t think you are,
    There’s something going for you.
    Something you believe in..
    Have faith in..
    Everyone is driven.

  27. She watched her icons, hour after hour on the screen. They talked endlessly about what got them where they are today. Their friends and family pitched in as well. Even people they didn’t know. And she realized she would never be where they were if she stayed in one place.

  28. I’ve been so driven for so long now, always being pulled forward by some invisible string, tugging at my navel, forcing me through all the knee-deep shit, and the occasional flower field. So, what jackass decided to cut it loose?…

  30. Driven insane, I am
    Driven to the very edge of the crusty
    Desert that is my sanity
    There is no water
    A drought has struck
    And here I am without a hint
    Of life
    Insane
    You have driven me there

  32. She was almost driven to madness when she saw her Ex, arm in arm with a taller, more attractive woman than herself. It was not as if she blamed the woman who was with her Ex; no, it was the bastard himself for frequenting one of her usual hangout places just to show off his new arm candy.

  33. driven to succeed is the way of the race car driver. They are driven to reach top speeds and to put their lives on the line in the hopes of glory and fame.

  34. I was at the edge of town, and then I was outside it. I felt like I could breathe again. I’d never driven so fast and I’d never felt so dangerous.

    Not that it was really dangerous- I kept telling myself that. It was just the big bad world. How bad could it be?

  35. I saw the expression on her face. Nothing could stop her. I smiled to myself as I observed my little girl take off on her bike full-speed down the sidewalk, regardless of the incoming storm clouds. Just like her mother. Driven by an intangible and instoppable force. The air was warm and comforting, in a way. I look over to Shayne and tilt my head, exchanging a warm eye-smile that only the two of us would understand. God, do I love my husband. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate my beautiful family more than ever.

  37. i am not driven. i really wish i was, it would come in useful when i needed oomph and power and direction instead of flailing about like the top off a dandelion who has no idea of where it should be off to.

  38. Driven is supposedly a good thing in our highly goal-oriented society. But what are the consequences for a highly driven life? Like most things, being driven is good only in moderation. If someone is too driven they can miss out on many things which make life beautiful; we must always leave times to “stop and smell the roses.”

  39. One day I drove to school and hit a deer. Why a deer? I’m not sure why. I guess I live in a hich town so it’s a toss up between a deer or a cow. I don’t really like cows that much, so I should have said I hit a cow. They smell. What was my word again? Oh, driven. I had once DRIVEN to a play called Midnight Summers dream. Did I really see that play? No. I can’t really think of a play I did see…oh wait! I saw Oklahoma once!
