Left Behind
Left behind is my house
Of horrors;
As I am running towards
A safe house,
A safe home.
Left behind are those
I thought I knew;
As I am slowly trusting
Better people,
Better friends.
Left behind is what
I’ve been taught;
As I am finally learning to know
My morals,
Myself.
Left behind is
the old me,
As I am sprinting forwards
At a speed
faster than sound,
Than light.
And I know not where
I’m going,
Or what I’m running to,
But I know what
I’m leaving behind.
