Walk Away Poem by Tessa Eichhorst

Too many times has something held me back from achieving something great. I almost stopped my life waiting for your next move; a move I'd still be standing in line for.

I try to tell myself my life is greater than you, greater than this facade we both went through. I've now released the pressure of you and walked away.

I've walked away from your sight, touch, reach, and manipulation. Walked away from the most poison I've endured; the poison of you.

Please continue on your path so we no longer can meet, keep walking your way and I'll walk mine. Walking away from you is the best for my soul to keep striving, please don't look at me if our paths meet, for I am walking away.
