I'm leaving, 
so I say,
goodbye. 
 

I sometimes wish I could turn off my brain. Everything I hear, do, or say has to be turned into semantics for my own imagination. I am never out of control, only trying to live in the moment.

I leave to escape 
the hustle and bustle, 
the plastic surgery, 
and the opportunity chasers. 

I return to embrace 
the hustle and bustle, 
the plastic surgery, 

He was my age. 
He could've gone to school with me. 
He could've had classes with me. 
He could've been my best friend. 

He was my age. 
He dropped the gun. 

Candle in the wind, 
blowing round' and round' till the, 
gust snuffed out the flame.
