Reasons to Leave

I am drowning

I am taken for granted and shit on time and again

Our country is succumbing to fascism

My heart cannot endure the pain inflicted by my family  

I need to run before I cannot

I feel another tumor knocking on my brain

Something is so very wrong

I want to start again without the baggage of loving anyone

Without reminders of death, of loss, of heart break

Move on 

Escape 

Run

Lean on trees 

not people
