Breakaway

running for blocks
not knowing where I am
or where I am going

I am running.

from indecision
from unhappiness

I am running.

into darkness
with no light to guide the way
or no roadmap to lead me.

I am running.

from poverty
from fear

I am running.

into the sea
to escape the life behind me.

I am running

I am breaking away.
I am leaving behind
the ancient me.

I am running
into the darkness.
