Leaving

There are things in this world

That we must do

Many things we want to do

And many things we do not

But do them we must

Life is a plate of mixed food

There are foods that we love

Some that we only like

And then there are the foods we don’t like

There are even some we really don’t like

One of the biggest human fears

Is quite simple when you break it down

The fear of the unknown

We don’t know

And that’s what scares us

I don’t like heading into the unknown

There are stories from others

They try to make it easier,

Make it more known

But you never really know

There’s comfort in simple things

Living in the country

Spending time with those you love

But we all must face our fears

And we must experience life

I hate the idea of leaving

I don’t really want to leave home

I’ve done it before

But I always come back

And I know that I’ll have to leave one day

That’s my fear

I don’t want to leave

I don’t like the goodbyes

I like the comfort of my own home

I like what I know

And yet I know that I’ll leave

The day is getting closer

I don’t know what day it is

But I know its coming

The day I’ll leave just as you did
