The Road
By: JoAnna Martin

The road has become 
my eternal friend.
Where will it take me?
When will it end?
Travelling alone,
without a guide.
No one to answer to,
no rules to abide.
There’s nothing I haven’t seen,
nothing I haven’t done.
I’ve left no stone unturned
and no game un-won.
I live for each moment
like there’s no tomorrow,
not bearing in mind
any worries or sorrows.
Live life to the fullest,
that’s what it’s here for,
forget about consequences,
unlock adventure’s door.
Embrace life mysteries,
test your pride,
challenge the world
and enjoy the ride.
Add your experiences 
in the book of collected memories
but hide your loneliness in the one
that no one ever sees.
Because it’s a lonely road
I travel upon.
There’s no time for commitment
when I have to move on.
That’s OK with me, 
I uncap my drink, 
A toast for independence!!!
and no obligations....I think.
