The Hitchhiker (Repost)

I think I’ll head off today.

All this time I’ve been

Getting farther and farther away,

Well, I think I’ve finally

Gathered enough courage to say,

No more.

I’m ditching this road, stepping bare feet

Dripping with blood from

This rough asphalt and all its heat

To greener grass and

A better place to meet,

I hope.

I sacrificed the map when I decided to go,

What the future has in store

For me, no one can know.

And strangely, I’m okay with that,

This odd high that comes with breaking a low,

I’m free.

Nothing but a thumbs-up and goodwill to guide me,

The whims of the joyous, the

Rush of looking as far as my eyes can see

And knowing I can walk that horizon.

Because this is my journey,

I leave.

To greener grass and happier times in 2017! Luck to you on all of your journeys :)

I am 21 years or older.
