Escape

Alright, so I was going to the University of Illinois at the time, and my family was having some problems. I had the option of either staying in Illinois, going to a wonderful school with all my friends (plus I had tons of other family too), or transfer to a Florida school and be closer to my parents so I could see them on holidays. I chose my family. I will always choose my family. They love me and I love them. That is love. That will last forever. Remember... love is about sharing. Don't be an incomplete-type of fool.... build your life... share your life... but never give your life away... we are small, but worth more... enjoy...

I’ve slipped into a dimension
Where my existence seems to want to fade away.
The person I thought I was has left me behind
And has gone off to hide once more under an unknown object
That I, of course, must discover once more.
Meaningful things and meaningful people are all
Stepping two steps backwards leaving me alone to face
This new path or turn back and join my previous self.
Never knowing who I could or should be.
Strange arms pull me from the south,
While familiar hands tug me to the north.
Unheard or spoken lips whisper in my ears
From both west and east to discover the earth for the first time
And see if those places really do exist.
And inside me a howl barks in my mind
To fly above the clouds or run until the ground gives way,
But I stand here confused about my position or purpose.
Or do I still have to find them?
Everything I touch turns to gold
And everything I pass and leave behind me turns to ash
And the wind blows it away from my memory.
Did it ever exist?
And still I stand motionless with my running thoughts.
Do I step forward to see all the unseen
Or do I turn around to warm recognizable arms to be who I am now?
