I'm off, out of this place of heartache and loss.
I know, pain finds you anywhere--
and what would I be without it?
But I want a fresh start, a clean slate,
something new to sate my appetite for change,
to keep me sane.
I'm headed for bigger things
than I ever had here,
and who knows?
Maybe a year or two down the road,
I'll be back,
a stranger in my own town,
to walk the streets I once knew,
and find some sense of peace,
free of the past.
For now, I'm out,
giving the ghosts the slip,
and leaving yesterday in a storage locker
that I won't pay the bills on.

San Diego, here I come!

Nice...
A poignant reminder to all, regardless of the destination, of when it is time to cut losses and move on...well done...tell me who you are?

This is good, but I felt like you wanted to go more with this... the end just sort of....stops. It seems like there is so much more to this... I dont know, maybe I am just rambling. Its a good write though...
