I'm Out of Here

I'm hitting the road.

A notebook,

a full tank of gas,

the clothes on my body,

and a smile on my face.

I'm outta here.

 

Going to peace.

Finding myself on the road.

Heading nowhere

but everywhere at the same time.

Who knows where I'll end up?

All I know is I'm outta here.

 

Shoes hit the pavement

in a rhythmic beat

in cities and parks.

Sand tickles my toes at the beach

and the sun explodes.

Here I go again.

 

Rain wets my hair

walking down a country road.

The smell is overpoweringly sweet.

I taste my joy,

catching raindrops on my tongue.

I'm off again.

 

Summer sun swirls over me,

kissing my face, arms, and legs.

Meadow grass comforts me,

and butterflies flutter inches from my eyes.

I breathe it in,

I'm going home.

 

A warm bed waits for me,

beckoning as I step throught the door.

My keys hit the floor.

Behind closed eyes, I remember things.

I fall into my deep slumber,

and I'm gone again...

I feel a road trip coming on. lol

Awh, I loved it. It shows how one thrives to get away from everything. How one wishes for a break. But then it's time to come back into reality, and you came home. Great job!
Keep writing,
