Leaving

Leaving all that I've known
Without choice to this decision
It was nothing I could stop
For things change with times that pass

Leaving all that I've known
Nothing else can appease the rage
That people don't accept the difference
Brought upon by love that left

Leaving all that I've known
Since I've grown up around this place
Memories lost in hope to forget
Past events that bring much sorrow

Leaving all that I've known
Tears flowing for losing what's mine
Present feelings bewildered by all
Who would think it'll be alright

Leaving all that I've known
Words used to soothe and comfort
Sadness is all that is felt
Yet, stronger will build mind and morals

Leaving all that I've known
