Getting Away

I’m leaving this place
I’m never looking back
Oh god I think I’m having a heart attack
Not knowing the unknown
It leaves me as cold as a stone
Paths to right
Paths to the left
When all else is done
What else is left
If I leave this place
Is it a disgrace
Will my new beginning really be enlightening
Or will it just be shortening to the adventure of life
Cutting me as deep as a knife

I do not know where I go from here

Do I stray from fear

Or am I in pursuit of the big dream, my dear

Lost as a stray asteroid in the galaxy

I’m afraid this all may be a fallacy

What if then, what if this is all real

As real as steel

So concrete that my ambition should not be discrete

Alas though, I keep this a secret

This internal battle that I carry within myself

The battle to find my true self

This adventure, can it cure this sickness in my mind

Or will I die trying

Perhaps the real test is to stay

Do not stray

Stay and know that your happiness is here

I know what it is that my soul needs

For I have the cure

And if my words were wine, I would drink them…
