Description Maybe I should just leave.
Pack nothing.
Just grab some stuff
and go.
Out the door, hang a left,
and just keep walking 'till my shoes give out.
And never look back.

Maybe I should just leave.
Maybe there is nothing here for me.
Maybe I should see what is out there.
Just get away from all that I know,
from everyone I know.
From everyone who knows me.

MAybe I should just leave.
LEave everything behind.
Just go and see
what's behind the horizon,
and the horizon after that,
and the next,
and the next.
Until there are no more horizons.

Maybe I should just leave
and never come back.

A really beautiful and powerful poem. 
My favourite line is "Until there are no more horizon" which just perfectly describes this feeling of wanting to leave..

A great poem. I really enjoyed it. You have some wonderful visuals: worn out shoes, leaving the people that know you, taking nothing with you. Everything conveys a sense of desperation. 

My favorite line: "Until there are no more horizons." Somehow sums up the poem for me.

Well written, good job.
