My Amazing Race
No longer is my face streaked with tears,
 I’ve learned not to face my fears.
 I’m going far away,
 Leaving without a delay.
 
 Spontaneity takes the lead,
 A new path to follow, a new creed.
 No longer do I linger in the past, 
 I hope these memories will last. 
 
 I’m going on an amazing race,
 Not stopping or changing pace.
 I have to get out of this place,
 No longer will I use predictability as a brace.
 
 Although my dreams involve flying high,
 I have always hated saying goodbye. 
 The tearful partings are always tough, 
 And in my life I’ve had enough. 
 
 I’m going on an amazing race,
 Not stopping or changing pace.
 I have to get out of this place,
 No longer will I use predictability as a brace.
 
 Again these fears of parting keep me here
 Locked in place, unable to move
 Where I know you’ll always be near
 These thoughts of you I can’t remove 
 
 I’m going on an amazing race,
 Not stopping or changing pace.
 I have to get out of this place,
 No longer will I use predictability as a brace.
 
 I must stay, for my hearts sake,
 For I cannot handle another break. 
 This journey had ended before it begun,
 Once again things come undone. 
 
 There goes my amazing race,
 I can’t even stop, there was no pace.
 I have no choice but to stay in place,
 Once again, predictability is my brace.
