leave (2017)

leave 
         leave
                  today is a perfect day
                                                        to leave

don’t stay
don’t hold on
as everything will one day
                                             leave its place

i hate the city
the putrid smells, the crippling buildings, the screeching sounds
(my heart settles when the magnolia blooms in spring)

i hate that i’ve become what i hated
i hate that i can’t stay sane in one place

leave
         leave
                   today is the perfect day
                                                            to leave

don’t stay
                 don’t hold on
                                        as we will all one day
                                                                             need to leave our place
