you're gonna need to leave

you're gonna need to leave

A Poem by AKhaus

Please keep driving, please leave me here.
Leave me at the side of this road and I will surely go, soon to be gone.
No more sadness to dance to as you pull down those shades.
I'll just stay on the corner as you drive by.
I couldn't have known how cold this would feel as you left me behind.
Mama you're gonna need to leave and don't think I'll be waiting too long.
I have dreams yet to see and a life of wonder yet to be.
So now Mama, you are gonna need to leave, please leave me here.
Please keep going and try not worry.
It's never easy turning down that street as my heart whispers and bleeds.
But Mama, you are gonna need to leave and fast so that my skin can breathe.
My bones still move but yours are crushed to dust and so we must proceed.

It's always difficult to live where we don't fit in. I have experienced this and it's extremely difficult.
