Biding Time (2020)

For most of my life, I've traveled alone. 
In the next two years, I won't have to anymore. 
I'll cross the ocean 
Leaving memories behind 
And if anyone tries to bring me back, 
Then I'll take my own life. 
I won't have to remember Kentucky anymore, 
I can't wait for the time to discover a new world 
For a chance, 
A chance. . . A chance to begin. 
It's hard to imagine someone loving me 
When a lot of people walked away 
And others lost themselves, mentally. 
Does my writing now look like a man? 
Or is it from the visions of a boy who ran? 
Would you root for me from afar? 
Or say goodbye when I'm long gone? 
I've tried my hand. I've done what I could. 
I've dreamed, I've failed, I've wished, I would. 
And sometimes, I can't... 
But with her, I could.
