Highway Awakening

I am leaving
I am leaving it all behind
so many regrets,my injured heart heaving 
decades wasted,the hand of time I can't unwind

My bags are packed
My bags and shattered soul flee from reality
courage to face my fears,I lacked
cowardly running away,striped off all
 dignity

I am picking up pace
I am picking up pace and distance from the past
Harsh reprimanding wind flog my face
In the real world how long will I last?

I am finding a new beginning
I and finding a new beginning and making root
Am going home,the highway my awakening
nowhere to hide from bad decision,face it and be resolute.
