I'm Outta Here!

I've waited for years
To be able to say
Just three little words
On that final day.

A plan is in motion
Setting up the getaway
There'll be a comotion
On that final day.

Whether dismal or clear
On that final day
"I'm outta here"
Will be all that I say!

As I read this poem, I am reminded of the convincing I have to lend myself to make certain decisions. Plans have to be drawn to get me to the place were I can say 'I'm Outta Here!', sometimes they are difficult to do - it feels a bit like a release day from prison, when you finally make the break.

Thanks, nice one
Jon

Let me tell you, it's a GREAT feeling to say that!  There's a twinge of sadness too, at walking away from so many dreams and promises, but oftentimes, it's necessary for our survival.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go

This has a lot of zip! Glad to see your confidence and your mind made up.   Good for you! It would have been   (sad) if you have no choice. Good Luck, whatever you decide.     Connie
