Eulogy
All I have ever known is this
It’s all I’ll ever know
A life in unchanging stagnation
A soul that can never grow
I wish I could lose myself for once
Uproot and run away
To wander through the country
With no true place to stay
No longer bound to any place
To which I’ve never belonged
To never hang to stay and fight
Should I ever be wronged
To be truly free in life
To follow my foolish heart
To travel on to journey’s end
Never stopping once I start
I don’t belong here in this place
I wonder why or if you’d care
If I were to be gone tomorrow
To a place I know not where
I’d ask you not to look for me
There would be no need to fear
I am not worth that kind of trouble
And hardly worth a tear
But I know I’ll never leave this place
I’ll never stray far from home
And I’ll make a casket for my withered heart
Who will never get to roam.
Hey Dale, I'm probably not the first person you would expect to be commenting, and I'm also not sure how deep you want me to read your material, but this is a really great piece. The story you have written down is one that any person in the world can relate to. We're all there at one point or another. (or in my case, sometimes every day for a period of time) At any rate, I'm going to keep reading and Beth is right. You should really keep writing. Good luck with the goal that you have set and feel free to message or whatever if you feel so inclined. - Jason Pugh
