I travel the highway
Destination unknown,
I will travel until
I am all alone.
Signs around me
Blowing in the wind,
Afraid to turn back
For now I have sinned.
Leaving everything behind
Taking only what I can carry,
Not knowing what’s ahead
Is the only thing that’s scary.
Because I travel the highway
My destination is unknown,
And I will continue to travel,
Because I am all alone.

This was a breeze to read. Great flow!
And it has an impact, too.
Wonderful poem.

Very nice one here. The flow is great and the ending is nice. It's hard to be alone, but you'll overcome it soon!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
