The Hunt for Me

The hunt for me begins today,
I decided to go astray.
Not where I’m required to be
What has happened to me?

I was on a difficult route,
A path drawn out,
But one not my own
and I longed for another road.

I wanted the less trodded way,
A byway that is my way
Away from societal rules
And the powerhungry ghouls.

I now walk the route
filled with less doubt
more determined and free
a way drawn by me.

I am now my own guide
The rules now are mine
