LEAVING HOME
written by tyosdream11:02 AM 2/13/05As I looked out towards my homeland,
A tear fell from my eye,
For when the time came for leaving
It was hard to say goodbye.
I stepped into a foreign land
Scared and all alone;
Stripped of all I had possessed
And all that I had known.
The courage and defenses
That shielded through the years
And stayed secured within my soul
Were now replaced with fears.
I had to look within myself
And seek my peace of mind,
Then left my insecurities
In the darkness far behind.
Into the world I ventured,
Inspired, but still unsure
And charged into the battle,
To make my life secure.
Still I looked to the surroundings
Of this world in which I roam,
And my heart pounds with a longing
To once again be home. |
