Genesee Park, Colorado
June 2000
I spent all my life pretending I was off somewhere else. Off with you, on one of your adventures.
But my own adventure turned out to be quite different.
~Lord of The Rings~
I am a runner. When life gets hard I get in my car and run away.
In 2000 I did something I never thought I would do and it destroyed me.
I tried to run away from the memory by moving out west but I was on a downward spiral.
I had an amazing friend who knew my decisions where wrong.
I ignored him and in turn lost one of the best friends I ever had.
A month after I walked out of the abortion clinic I ended up here.
On Interstate 70 heading west to California.
My little red pick up truck pulling a U-Haul trailer,
And my cousin followed in her civic.
I was running from what I had done, unable to except it.
I don't regret leaving Jersey behind I have no regrets.
I learned so much about myself on that trip.
Things I wouldn't truly know for 6 years when the clouds finally cleared.
It took a long time to heal from that wound,
And along the way I gained more scars then one person should.
Like I said I have no regrets just a spot in my heart for those I hurt along the way.
