I walk away

Jonathan Zyra 1976 (Holyoke Massachusetts)

April 24 


I walk away

Away from the TV and the telephone.
I walk on this sidewalk, I walk alone.
Away from opinions and unkind remarks.
I walk past houses, I walk past parks.
Away from troubles and doubt in my mind.
I walk, never knowing, what I will find.
Away from stress and lack of success.
I keep on walking, nevertheless.

Jonathan Zyra

About this poem

No matter what life brings, keep going and hang in there. After a long day I enjoy a nice walk to clear my head.

    It's short but rhymes very well. I have been the one in this poem many times.
