Give up
Walk
Away.
So easy to say
Even easy to write,
Yet so impossible to do.
I tried to use my anger
As my strength to leave
But that will not work,
For I know
Deep inside,
It is not you I’m angry with.
No one would blame me,
I tell myself,
Anyone else would’ve taken off
Weeks ago,
Months ago.
But that doesn’t satisfy;
I will not be satisfied
To be like everyone else.
Everyone else
Who seems to have the easier life
By walking the beaten path.
No, that will not
Satisfy my soul.
Why then
Does it tempt me so?
