Runaway Invitation

a last chance at living

By The Incurable AntidotePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Run Away with Me

I don't know where we'll end up,

or if we'll be alive once we get there,

But I do know anything is better than here.

I know anything is better than the things we do now.

I know being alive and living are two different things.

And I know...

WE ARE NEITHER

So Run Away with Me.

No longer do you have to be the glue that keeps that broken home standing up right.

You're too young for a job with that many hours anyway...

Besides...

The only benefit it really offers is a slightly satisfying feeling of accomplishment when the job is done.

Please tell me that you're not so naïve as to believe that one day you will ever be done.

Just Run.

But,

Before it's too late for second thoughts...

Before you loose the desire to...

And before you forget it's even an option...

You CAN stay.

You CAN wake-up everyday and go about your daily routine.

You CAN live that generic life society promises and delivers to everyone...

You CAN.

But if I though for one second that you were generic...

I never would have asked you to do something extraordinary in the first place.
