And it would be Worse, yet Better

Sunset

Somewhere else

If I wasn’t 

Expected

To do things

To be awake

When someone else wants

Not that I’m ever 

Awake

Anymore

Who knows

I’d be driving

To the mountains

Watch the trees

Sway

Step out to feel

The wind on my face

Maybe

I wouldn’t 

Feel

Like crying

Maybe

I would just 

Cry

And it would be worse

Yet better

Listen to the static

When the radio runs out

Until it picks up 

The next town

The same numbers play

Different things

The farther 

Away 

From 

Here 

I 

Am

And isn’t that

Funny

Someone elses life

I’m just 

Peeking

A glimpse 

Through backlit windows

Flying by

Is there anywhere

Sweeter than the road?

It hurts

But it is so

Beautiful

Breathtaking

I feel like 

I should miss things

String lights in 

The living room

Maybe

I would miss 

People

They are easy to miss

Mostly I 

Think I would just

Travel

Until someone stops me

‘Where are 

You going now?’

“I don’t—

I don’t know”

I just have

To keep going

Just

Keep

Going
