Run Away Poem by Jasjiv Singh

run away to a beautiful but unknown place
take a bow now when you still have some grace
to the door before you spoil everything in your hand
to the highway because the road will understand
make the exit and plan your future that you desire
get away and add fuel to that fire
leave soon and spare everyone the heartache
never return for his, her and everybody else's sake
go on for the more you wait the more you’ll endure
just be gone even if you are unsure
this door will be closed soon and you need to make it fast
every minute that you waste is the one you wished you grasped

drive away from the chaos that is the current state
leave behind all that baggage and nothing on fate
take the wheel, step on the gas and accelerate
the wind in the countryside is what makes you so desperate
new faces to see alongside the winding road
those smiles will relieve your heart, body and soul of every load
loose gravel on which the tyres tread
makes for the stories that you have read
park on the sand and camp on the riverbed there
these are the sights and sounds that’ve led you here
meet somebody new and make love under the moon
here in the wild you’ll never hear the words “see you soon”
pull up at the station, bring your ride to a grind
take a moment to think of the life you’ve left behind
those routines, those mundane everyday things
no worries now, what a smile that brings
