Gone

I walk away

Mother and father didn’t

Stop me from doing so

They didn’t understand

They never could

For I was different in their eyes

I wasn’t normal to them

Since I didn’t like this thing

Or that, because I was me

And I liked what I did

I liked words

While they liked action

I liked peaceful afternoons

While they liked the hustle

And bustle of the streets

I liked the darkness

While they lived in the light

I was alone

While they had each other at least.

They ignored my cries

My pleas of agony

And so I am gone

I walked out

Into the night

When I left for Flourence

I couldn’t do it any longer

They were driving a dagger

Into my heart

As the tears stopped

And I couldn’t cry any more

No matter how much it hurt.

They lost me

They don’t know pain

Until they experience the

Hell I went through

To get this far in life

Without anyone else

By their side

To walk all these miles alone

Without the comfort of another.
