Escape

Driving

At break-neck speed

Straight into forever;

My way

Of not stopping

To work on today.

Inconsequential

Banter,

Long walks in the rain,

Flirtation

A convenient escape

From responsibility.

Having

Broken every rule

In my book

In a bid

To change:

Failing.

Finally, left with

Loathing

For who I become

Disgust,

For all I’ll ever be

And a bad taste in my mouth.
