Gone Away

they took me away
from the people
i loved
i saw them 
standing with
tears in their eyes
looking back 
was hard to do
i don't understand 
what did i do
who were those 
people that drove
me away
where is my home
i don't see it in sight
my brother,my sister
is so far away
how long will it 
before i am home again
