Getting Away From Here

getting away from here
i will be much sweeter when we get there
right now all the stinky stuff is causing my mind to become totally oblivious

getting away from here
i will be easier to put up with as the miles evaporate
right now all the stifling stress is causing my mind to become very vulnerable

then there are the memories of dog food and cleaning products
then there are the thoughts of goodbye waves and pleasant trip expressions
then there are the images of blueprints to actualities and technicalities 

the roads that i traveled were reasons why i am behind this wheel
somehow it has made me a better person with matured common sense 
the scars within the memories remind me of what could happen again if i do....

getting away from here
i now begin to see light
the sunshine winks at me through the clouds and breaks free to smile at me before clocking in
totally cleansed am i of repetitious reflections unnecessary and unneeded
i turn into a scene in the new chapter of my new movement
it feels so wonderful to actually have a turn
now it is that 'in addition' that i desire and yearn....AND I JUST FOUND A PARKING SPOT!
