The Great Emotional and Physical Escape

Looking to break the suffocating bonds of the past
And the idealized misconceptions of what the future should be
Fed up with trying to please others in order to feel good
Ready to accept responsibility for the actions of one
No longer looking for love in all the wrong places
Discomfort surrounded by baby commercials and birth control pills
Looking to avoid thinking too many moves ahead
Due to these uncertain times where planning impossible to do
Getting closer to an unexpected milestone
One that many hopeless romantics wish to never have
The one year mark of their last intense break-up
Know that this singleton better off in the long run
Didn't make it any less uncomfortable to move through
Hard to move on; not from them; that part was easy
Deserved so much better than the dismount they performed
Unable to meet new people due to current events
Wondered if you were the cause and not the solution
Realized that it was your own foibles pushing that on you
Not their need to roam free from commitments and responsibilities
Ready to find deeper meaning in being Ms. Independent
Avoiding the expectations of being on society's timetable
No good ever came from trying to be someone else
Sticking to their timelines and perceptions of what boxes
That need to be checked off in order to move ahead with life
Eager to get past the era of the loser and find genuine substance
Someone who doesn't get amused over stoner comedies
An overgrown Jeff Spicoli nearly four decades past their prime
Searching for amusement in some of the most random programs
A lot of awful reality television and reruns to keep things afloat
Time to take a walk on the not too wild side to shake things up
Steve McQueen planned an escape not quite like this one
Hopefully, he'd approve just the same.
