ABC

ABC
A man named Ralph walked into work one day.
Booking meetings one after the other, he was quite bored.
Constant typing, the same old thing everyday.
Doing this was making him crazy, he needed to break out.
Even though he did not know what would come next in his life, he needed to flee.
Free from everything around him, that is what he needed to be.
Getting rid of the normal world
He left. He left his office and never wanted to look back.
Insisting on following a long lost dream of his.
Just one thing to think about, where to start.
Kicking off his shoes when he got home he started his new life.
Looking back at his past was something he will never do again.
Minding his own business is what he did best.
Never worrying about anyone other than himself.
Opening his eyes to the future.
Popping out into this new world of his.
Questioning his choice if this was the right thing to do.
Realizing it is and that he has a new life ahead of him.
Stopped in his tracks he noticed something was wrong.
Things weren't stable and he didn't know how to live like that.
Under his bed he found a book with a letter inside of it.
Visiting his grandmother she told him that the letter was a sign to follow his dreams and that everything would be okay.
With this sign he knew what he had to do.
Young and confused he did what he wanted.
Zzzzzzz... he went to sleep and woke up to realize this was all a dream.

Prompt #1 Cycle 2

POEM
You were you,
And I was I;
We were two
Before our time.

I was yours 
Before I knew, 
And you have always 
Been mine too.
