To those who read my life
To those who read so far
This goes to you, my writings through
Retiring, an unknown star
To those who read my life
Who read what I have done
As I release my tortured thoughts
And break the chains, begone
In solemn wispers, holding back
I'll tell you I am through
I've done enough, I'll now move on
This time my words are true
Find the reason that I write
And free it from the chains
Undo the misery of life
Then what have you to gain?
I've cured the past diseases
Medicated by my words
I bless my mind for thinking them
They've blessed my soul, for sure
And cleansed now I shall walk away
And walk far from this land
Dragging in an empty sack
The tortures I can't stand
I once had written, long enough
To last a man his life
If no one ever read my words
I'd still, forever, write
But writing is an inner cure
A passion, secretly
To take the pain, behind the bars
And let the pain be free
I know because I've been there
I've perservered and I've achieved
I've struggled through my sinful nights
And now I stand, relieved
I'll cradle in my arms
My unknown poetry
And pass it off to someone else
And let them now believe
I wish you well in all your life
I wish I could be there
To pass my love around the world
And heal your life's dispair
I have to go and live a life
That I will never know
It's new to me, it needs not words
To evict my secret sorrow
I wish I could stand by you all
And watch us as we grow
I've healed my wounds, I wish you do too
For now, I have to go
This secret poetic life of mine
I've never shared to family
No one but you, has found my words
Amidst my life's debris
And no one but you shall watch me go
A newer day, a brighter sun
Please forgive me, for leaving you
I'm sorry, I am done
