Before I Leave

I would of liked to have said good byes
Look upon your face into your eyes
Looking for my little princess somewhere in there
I want to tell her I was sorry

Before I leave

I want my baggage to be light as air
No strings to bring me worry
When recollecting the most memorable
Letting s**t go, most amiable

Before I leave

The America that fostered me, Disney made believe
My hopes heart filled with 3-D colored dreams
I hope to give my thanks even on the other side
The world might end while closing the eyes

Before I leave

I would rather not have any need of all that
Find myself in all this, happy at that...
I would of liked to have waved goodbye
As I fly away ... Heartbroken in the sky ...

Before I leave

I just want to know "why?"
What did I do so wrong? Did I hurt you?
With my "such a user" usefulness, deadbeat dad,
Reasons running away with the ghosts of us

The ones that haunt me still (eek-gad!)
I will let go / of - flying home thru the clouds,
I will look down and feel how small I'm now
And how wonderful the world I see

Before I leave...

(it's not about me)

lots of goodbyes in ones life ...i enjoy the layers of this ...i think the repetitive line is strong ... and your aside in closing piques my noodle ... the one scene with a dad stands out the most ... whether your speaker is, or his dad is the deadbeat ... the backdrop in such a growing up leaves a lot of scars ... i also like the open ended closing ... one can't be sure whether he left or not ...

Very good. Very well expressed all the sentiments of the speaker of the poem.
"The America that fostered me, Disney made believe
My hopes heart filled with 3-D colored dreams
I hope to give my thanks even on the other side
The world might end while closing the eyes"
This stanza is amazing. Keep it up dear.
