Reason's For Leaving! How can I explain the reasons When I don't know them myself It's just I can't live this way I can't put up with this nothing This void of feeling, this darkness I need to be free, need to find me Haven't I given enough of myself Haven't I been patient, given enough? Waiting for something Anything? Now I need to leave here This empty, lonely home Where once love lived, and grew It isn't a crime for me to say Goodbye, to bid you farewell To start to think of myself I know that you are angry You think I should still be Waiting for something Anything? You always said that your love Was freely given, with no price But the price that I've paid Has been far to high for me I've given you most of my life All my springtime and summer It's my turn to find a life It's my turn to find my destiny Waiting no longer for something Anything! |

Marsha, the reasons for leaving usually only seem clear to the one leaving. You have made it a little clearer. Well done. I hope this is one from your imagination and everything is ok with you. Dee |

Dee thanks for your kind thoughts, unfortunately it's not my imagination at work here. Still every day from now on is supposed to be better, until I'll eventually rise. |

Step up to the plate of life and swing with all you've got. Wonderful but painful filled verse. You write well and with what I see in your words you "WILL" shine brightly in the near. |

Mark thank you so very much, it's only my friends here who have helped me see the truth. So it's thanks to you one and all for your compassion and words. I know that without Passions I'd have just gone on waiting. |

Butterflies dc you're so right, you can wait forever, but end up still expecting something. Well now I'm standing up for myself, and although it's hard, in the end, I'll find me. Take care always |

Lorilei54 thank you for your kind words, I appreciate the time my family here at Passions take to read my work. It's where I get some strength of purpose and encouragement. |

I know a few of my reasons....but I'm not sure of all of them. The ones that I do have seem so petty when I think about them. Bottom line, lack of happiness and love makes for a lot of emptyness. Thanks for sharing Marsha..... Well expressed ~Sheri |

Dee yes that's it exactly, you have to think of yourself because the bottom line is if you keep waiting for something to happen, nothing will. Life is far to short, and this is not a something you can do again. Take care, Bubbles. |

Irie, even though your reasons seem petty to you, they are very real. You have a right to feel happy and content, and if you aren't you have a right to take steps to make yourself happy. The turning point for us all is different, but what convinced me was that scene in Shirley Valentine. I was talking to the walls, and getting a lot more satifaction from their replies, not a good sign. Anyway it may be hard, it may be uphill but at least it's up. Take care and if you need a friend I'm here, take care. |
