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.
