Change.

changing my surroundings and moving along

driving for hours back and fourth

replaying and singing the same song

i couldn't ask for anything more

leaving this town and getting over the past

i'm scared to place my clothing in a box

i knew this was never meant to last

closing the door behind me while it locks

one final trip to leave everything behind

one more time in the car to feel the cold air

this moment reminds me to clear my mind

and unlock a new door if i dare...

I know this feeling so well!
You've taken a common theme and captured the essence of it beautifully.

"driving for hours back and fourth

This connects with so many of us.....i can almost feel myself leaving my former life and not ever wanting to go back....but not really wanting to leave either....i havent gone back... but i think about it daily.

wow.! i'm liking it. it was really touching, but still good and inspirational at the same time. very well written as well.

We rarely expect or seek change but it is healthy that if faced with change we leave ourselves open for something new and refreshing. This poem gives that hope of daring to believe there is something more. Nicely written.
