Why is it everytime i become sad.
I get this sudden urge to flee.

Flee from my responsibilities .
Flee from my family.
Flee from my friends.

Flee from this world if even possible .

I feel if I leave.
I'll be happier.
I'll flourish.
My life would be easier.

Their lives would become better...

And yet every time .
I say the same thing.
But no actions follow.

So I stay.

I stay.
I stay.
I stay.

And each time I stay.
I feel my happiness draining.

I feel my life becoming sadder and sadder.
It becomes less than what I hoped it would be .

And each time I stay.

I still hope.

Hope for a better day.
Hope for a better life.

One day...
