Can I leave?
Since I don't belong here.
Am I that much of a burden?
That you can't stand to not remind me, even for a day.
Do you have to say those harsh words, which makes me wonder about my very being? I wouldn't say it doesn't hurt but, day by day I'm growing numb.
And it scares me to the point, I feel like I'm suffocating.
I want to leave this place,
I want to leave this place I once called home.
"Just one year", that's what I keep telling myself to get through each day.
Just one year, and then I can leave.
But, can I leave?
I'm afraid that I won't be able to last any longer.
