Depart

entry picture

Have you perhaps, held on too long

to the place you call home?

Have you let too much time slip by,

avoiding the unknown?

 

It’s hard not to be scared of change,

it happens naturally.

The risk of taking chances, yes

it’s pure anxiety.

 

But staying in this place is death,

you’re meant to rise and grow.

Your heart is meant to be your guide,

trust it and just let go.

 

If you stay here, you’ll just get old.

Your dreams you’ll never find.

So, take this chance, depart…

and leave this old place far behind.
