Hi...I'm new in Open, but I got a suggestion a few months back to post this in herr....I hope you like it   Goodbye
Goodbye dear place I've come to know.
Goodbye youth of summer and snow.
Goodbye fears in hidden fury.
Goodbye seven years gone by in a hurry.
Goodbye all unsolved lies.
Goodbye all broken family ties.
Goodbye you old wicked winding road.
Goodbye every stroy never told.
Goodbye hatred, hurt, and pain.
Goodbye dreams never attained.
Goodbye my prison with four standing walls.
Goodbye life's rises and all it's falls.
Goodbye perplexity in all different forms.
Goodbye childish fears of thunderstorms.
Goodbye days with my lemonade stand.
Goodbye life with no demand.
Goodbye worries in a dusty haze.
Goodbye young struggle through a hamster's maze.
Goodbye each forgotten tear.
Goodbye problems that now seem mere.
Goodbye love's last command.
Goodbye things I could never understand.
Goodbye both friend and cowardly foe.
Goodbye each final Saturday show.
Goodbye blue demon finally unveiled.
Tomorrow is a new day to be shared

You've said your good-byes with conviction Salma.  Here's to looking forward to new beginnings and fresh tomorrows ... refreshing and positive poem, nicely done.

Best wishes,
/Kit

More than a mere poetic swan song, this piece creates a lovely literary window toward a new beginning. Wonderful writing!

love these lines...

"Goodbye worries in a dusty haze.
Goodbye young struggle through a hamster's maze."

thanks for posting this... it delves into the struggles we all deal with but rises through the surface to let the past lie and grow

enjoyed
