Notes About The Poem

Courage is a one-way trip

I warned him a hundred times
I just can't take it anymore
I cry both day and night
Today's the day it's got to stop

I've got my one-way ticket out of here
I'm boarding a train that's westward bound
Don't know where I'll land and I don't care
I've got miles to go to hatch my plan
