• As I leave from home,
    I kiss them goodbye,
    “I’ll be back soon”,
    I start to cry.
    I get in the car,
    I’m on my way,
    I part from the world I once knew,
    But I won’t forget you.
    The memories fill my mind,
    Laughter and tears,
    Now I’m filled with fears,
    I can no longer hide.
    This is not forever,
    I’ll see you soon,
    I need to get away, I need to break away.
    I take a deep breath, I step outside alone,
    Into a new world, I am far from home.
    I feel scared but free,
    So sheltered now so alive,
    I know I have to do this, for me
