AAA

I've stepped onto the soil
of the road to starting over, at last
Gone the first inch of the first mile,
the first of the many 'til my last

Though cracks or crevasses may have me detoured
Still, hardly the depths of the ditches I've endured

Every sign pointed this way,
my heart was navigating
On a dead end street
I was broke down, left waiting

I salvaged my title and caught the left right express
Walked away from the wreckage, towards what's best

I quite liked this one. The first step is always the most difficult, but as we trudge along, and time passes, things ease and we end up realizing that life is actually quite forgiving.

I salvaged my title and caught the left right express
Walked away from the wreckage, toward what's best -- great ending (though I think you could come up with something more powerful than "what's best")

Overall, this was very well stated and presented. Completely enjoyed the read.

Life is a journey....a fresh start requires the willingness to take roads untraveled. Really enjoyed this one!! Great write!

Reminds me of the proverb "The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." This is a great and wise poem of self discovery - of picking yourself up off the road and continuing on the path. Well done!
