I walk away
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.
