Departure

influenced by living , time and
sometimes encouraged by others
i have decided to leave this land
one day , and be closer to my mother.

time has trampeled my life ,
my dreams are all shattered. no
children , no future and no wife...
having nobody to hold , nothing to show.

there's nothing i control , in which i can change
to make my life better. having friends is
wonderful , although i always feel estrang-
ed. my life so boring , drab , having no fizz.

~revised~

life is precious and not a thing is worth
causing anyone to leave it . so no matter how bad 
it gets , even unshared love. nothing on this earth
..not anger , not pain... no matter how lost or sad...

                  .....shall force my early departure
