Bright yellow flashed along her sides, blinding and twisting deep.\u00a0 Then, velvet darkness resettled, unbothered and waiting.\u00a0 Emptiness stretched out and yawned loudly, refusing to end, and the past fell behind.\u00a0 We know where we begin, but where do we end?\u00a0 The road never tells.<\/p>\n

I always wanted to run.\u00a0 She called my name, but I was stuck at the front door.\u00a0 I never knew where she would take me, and I was scared of where I would end.\u00a0 But my mistakes have left me blinded and twisted, and I regret ignoring her call.\u00a0 I should have ran.\u00a0 Instead, I teased her with little trips down my haven, staying close to the nest, but who was fooling who?<\/p>\n

Now, I found myself behind the wheel.\u00a0 It\u2019s different now.\u00a0 My past burned away, and there\u2019s no going back.\u00a0 I could only go forward, and her darkness waits.\u00a0 Her emptiness yawned, laughing sinisterly at my distress because I thought this journey would never end, or I\u2019ll take a wrong turn and get so lost.\u00a0 Or I\u2019ll wind up in a ditch, and that would be the end of me.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to go, but there\u2019s no front door holding me back.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing here for me anymore, but there\u2019s her.\u00a0 She would never end.\u00a0 She knew where she had come from, and she would go on forever, taking us with her on wild rides and endless journey.\u00a0 It\u2019s my time, and she\u2019s calling my name again.\u00a0 This time, she won\u2019t be ignored, and I\u2019m burning rubber, blinding and twisting along fate, and I stopped thinking.\u00a0 I knew where I had come from, but where I\u2019m going, only the road would know in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
